Sales & Marketing Apprentice

We're looking for an enthusiastic and confident apprentice to join our team, working across both sales and marketing. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to build a broad commercial skill set combining sales administration, client-facing communication, and marketing activity while gaining a recognised qualification.

To give you the best possible foundation, we'll start you on the Business Administration Level 3 apprenticeship (or the Customer Service apprenticeship, depending on fit) for the first 12–15 months. This builds the core administrative, communication and organisational skills the role needs, while giving you exposure to marketing-focused tasks alongside your day-to-day work. Once you've built that foundation, there's a clear route to progress onto the Marketing Executive Level 4 apprenticeship meaning you could achieve two qualifications while growing your experience and responsibility within the business.
