Basecamp Talent is partnering with a fast-growing Manchester-based PR and media agency to hire a Content Creator Apprentice to join their creative team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who’s passionate about social media, storytelling and digital culture and wants to turn that interest into a career.

You won’t just be “posting content.” You’ll learn how modern brands create engaging social content, build online communities and grow audiences across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube.

Working alongside experienced marketers, creatives and content producers, you’ll gain hands-on experience across content creation, videography, social media, podcasts, campaigns and brand storytelling while completing your Level 3 Content Creator apprenticeship.

No formal experience is required, just creativity, curiosity and a willingness to learn.

They specialise in helping clients grow their visibility through social media, digital PR, podcasts, videography and storytelling-led content.

The environment is fast-paced, collaborative and creative, making it a brilliant opportunity for someone looking to build real-world experience in content creation and marketing from day one.

• Learning how to use insights and analytics to improve future content
• Working closely with marketing, social and creative teams
• Supporting projects across multiple brands and campaigns

• Have used tools like CapCut, Canva or mobile editing apps
