About you

You will be a heavy consumer of editorial video and audio content. You'll know what content works well for media brands, not just individual creators. You'll have an idea of when to use scripted or off-the-cuff content styles.

Most importantly, you're a creative thinker, always looking for new ideas and ways to tell a story. You may even have started making your own videos or a podcast.

You're an independent worker who is always looking for new opportunities. You are able to take an assignment, or an original idea, and see it to completion.

You're self motivated with a continual drive to improve your skills and grow your experience.

We welcome applications from applicants who will be 18 or over when the apprenticeship starts.
