• Take part in a year long structured development programme designed to help you build the skills and confidence needed to thrive in your role. All of our apprentices take part in this programme, so you’ll have a group of peers to learn alongside.

• Support with building customer lists and creating attractive content for email campaigns.
• Utilise your creative skills when building assets for social media campaigns.
• You will have the opportunity to learn how AI is used as a tool across our teams for tasks such as content and image generation and data analysis.

What we’re looking for

No experience in digital marketing is required; we’ll teach you everything you need to know!

• Final year sixth form/college students or recent college leavers.
• GCSE English and Maths at Grade C or 4.
• Confident communicators who are comfortable speaking with stakeholders of all levels.
• Driven and resilient individuals who thrive on challenges and solving problems.

• Team players who enjoy collaborating with others.
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail.
• Creative individuals who display a keen interest and passion for digital marketing.

Application process

Our application process is designed to help you show your potential, not to test what you already know!

• Online application form – no CV required: We believe you’re more than just a document, so we won’t ask you to submit a CV. Please upload a blank document on the application form.
• Online gamified assessment: These games will help us understand your natural strengths and how you approach different situations. There are no right or wrong answers. You can complete this stage on your phone or laptop, whichever suits you best!
• Pre-recorded video interview: You will record your answers to a few questions using your phone or laptop, giving you the chance to tell us more about yourself in your own time in a relaxed setting.
• Assessment centre: Our final stage is an in-person assessment day at one of our offices close to you. You'll take part in some fun group activities and meet our team in a relaxed setting. This day is all about getting to know you better and for you to see what it's like to be part of Howden and experience our culture. We'll cover all your travel costs for this day!

At Howden, we are committed to developing and maintaining a culture of equality and diversity in the workplace and welcome applications from all backgrounds.

• Our successes have all come from someone brave enough to try something new

• We are determined to make a positive difference at work and beyond
