Employer Description:Sunderland is a fantastic, forward-looking, ambitious city undergoing significant transformation and economic regeneration. From the seafront and the city centre, to building locations of national strategic significance, we are creating the very best conditions for our 280,000 residents who live here and those who come to the city to work.
We provide a huge variety of services across the city, currently employing approximately 2,500 people in many roles ranging from gardeners to building maintenance technicians, ICT experts to social workers and many more. At all levels we work together to achieve real change across the city.
Sunderland is one of the few cities in the UK to be situated on the coast, whilst benefitting from easy access to the countryside, a short drive from two international airports, direct rail access to London and less than a twenty-minute drive from Durham and Newcastle.
We have a growing cultural scene. Sunderland Empire theatre attracts high-profile West End productions, and the Fire Station is Sunderland’s premier live music and performance venue. The National Glass Centre, Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens and Northern Gallery of Contemporary Art are all close to the city centre.

Employer Description:Our clients' success is our business. For us that's a commitment, not a tagline.
Pollard Media is a full-service marketing agency based in Norwich, Norfolk, and is a Google and Meta Partner. We're not a big, faceless agency, and that's exactly why our clients choose us. We work with a select number of businesses so we can stay fully invested in every one.
We deliver bespoke strategy, sharp creative execution, and a team that operates like part of the client's business rather than another supplier. We believe marketing should be clear, honest and effective. No jargon, no smoke and mirrors, no set-it-and-forget-it campaigns. Just thoughtful work that actually moves the needle.
We started as a side hustle in 2019 and grew into a full-service agency by doing things differently. We listened, we showed up, we treated every client's business like it was our own. That approach hasn't changed. If anything, it's become more central to who we are.
Our team is close-knit by design, and we believe in fairness. Through our Single Sector Area Promise, we work with only one business per sector in each area, so we never work with a client's direct competitor. When we're in a client's corner, we're fully in it.
We bring that same commitment to the people we hire. As an apprentice with us, you'll be right at the heart of delivering that success for our clients, doing real, varied work across strategy, social media, Google Ads, SEO, websites and content. And just as we invest in our clients, we'll invest in you, backing you to learn, grow and build a long-term career with us.Working Hours :Monday - Friday, 9.30am - 4.30pmSkills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Problem solving skills,Presentation skills,Analytical skills,Logical,Team working,Creative,Initiative,Patience....Read more...
