Digital Marketer & Print Apprentice

Digital Marketing Apprenticeship – Job Description

This intermediate qualification encourages growth and knowledge in digital marketing and the print industry. You will be part of a small team, working closely with a dedicated staff member to gain a thorough understanding of your role. Adaptability is key. You will learn transferable marketing skills to use within your daily job while developing an understanding of graphic design and pre-press responsibilities.

You will oversee the growth of the company’s digital presence, creating social posts and developing marketing initiatives. Alongside this, we would like you to gain an understanding of pre-press processes. This will include setting up artwork to make it print-ready and creating designs to customers’ bespoke requirements. You will work closely with experienced designers to learn the intricacies of this role.

This will encourage a broader understanding of the print process and what we do to apply to your daily responsibilities.

Candidates with an eye for detail and natural creative instincts will work well in this role.

During this 18-month apprenticeship, you will work alongside a dedicated team member, mirroring them and assisting where necessary. You will also undergo on-the-job training to better understand your daily tasks, including research and written projects. All on-the-job training will take place in-house, weekly, within your set working hours.

We would be looking to keep successful apprentices employed within Handy Brand, either as a qualified Digital Marketer or Artworker, if they preferred that portion of their role. Alternatively, we could explore other avenues within the company.

If staying on with Handy Brand is separate from your career journey, there will be many other options you could explore with your qualification. Your practical skills learnt during this apprenticeship may be transferrable elsewhere.

Once employed with us for a year, you will become part of our Employee Ownership Trust. This allows you to share ownership of a percentage of our business and its profits.

You have the opportunity to earn a bonus each year.
