Job description

Graduate PR Assistant, Professional Services, ALEXANDER JAMES RECRUITMENT LTD

Join this PR agency team as a Graduate PR Assistant and embark on a rewarding career path with clear short, medium, and long-term goals. This isn't just a job; it's an opportunity to grow within a company that values and nurtures its talent from within. You'll receive the support and freedom needed to thrive as a PR professional, working with clients in the professional services sector, including property, legal, and construction.

We are looking for graduates with outstanding writing skills, whether honed through your studies or your passion for the written word. Confidence, capability, and a proactive attitude are essential, as you'll need to support the team in various tasks. An interest in business, current affairs, and media relations is also crucial.

Our client, an independent and rapidly growing PR/Communications agency in vibrant Clerkenwell, is seeking a graduate with a stellar academic record. You should be ready to join the team within the next few weeks. Previous work experience or internships in PR, marketing, or media relations are a plus, but passionate graduates eager to break into the field are also welcome. This role is ideal for someone who considered careers in law or accountancy but seeks a more creative, people-oriented path.

As a Graduate PR Assistant, you will:

1. Collaborate with senior management
2. Develop media relations skills
3. Focus on copywriting across client portfolios
4. Work with the in-house design team
5. Build client handling skills
6. Support directors in new business activities

In return, you'll receive a starting salary of £25k, with the potential for a pay rise before the end of the first year. We offer hybrid working arrangements, an early finish on Fridays, and a dynamic, intellectually stimulating work environment. The client work ranges from national to trade and specialist media, providing a diverse and creative workload. The agency recently ranked among the top 25 PR agencies in the UK, a significant achievement in their first 10 years.

This role is exclusively available through us, and we've played a key role in building their team. We work closely with senior management to ensure the best fit for their growing agency.

Please include your GCSE and A-level grades on your CV.

Join us and start your PR career with a supportive, empowering team committed to your professional growth.
