Unlocked – Marketing and Social Media Apprentice

About the role

We’re looking for someone organised, switched on and interested in marketing, social media and campaigns. You’ll support the planning, execution and performance of content across social, ads and email — working directly with the brand director and alongside the creative team.

This role aligns with the level 3 multichannel marketer apprenticeship pathway, focused on campaign planning, delivery and performance across platforms.

You’ll be working inside a fast-moving creative and marketing environment, contributing to live campaigns, events, brand activity and closely working with a high energy sales environment. The work you produce won’t sit in a folder — it will be seen.

The pace is high, things move quickly, priorities shift and not everything will be perfectly planned, that’s intentional, we’re building, testing and pushing constantly. You’ll be working directly with the brand director, geting clear direction, honest feedback and real responsibility early on. In return, we expect you to be switched on, proactive and willing to improve quickly.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage and schedule social media content
  • Write captions, ad copy and basic marketing content
  • Support campaign planning and execution
  • Work with the designer to brief and deliver content
  • Assist with paid ads (meta, google)
  • Monitor performance and report insights
  • Support email campaigns and CRM activity
  • Keep marketing activity organised and on track

Day-to-day:

  • Scheduling and managing social calendar
  • Supporting campaign rollout across channels
  • Writing captions, emails and understanding brand copy
  • Reviewing performance and identifying what’s working
  • Coordinating with the designer on content needs
  • Keeping calendars, plans and tasks organised

What success looks like:

  • Content is planned, scheduled and delivered on time
  • Campaigns run smoothly with no gaps
  • You start understanding what content performs
  • You take ownership of channels and reporting

What you’ll get:

  • Real hands-on experience across campaigns, events and content
  • Direct mentorship from a brand director
  • Exposure to live projects, not just internal tasks
  • Clear progression into a full-time creative role
