Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

We’re looking for a junior copywriter to join an experienced creative team who wields their words across the web, social, print, radio and everything in between. The best part? You’ll be working on brands you (and your mum) will have heard of; Co-op, Costa Coffee, KFC, Wickes, Regus and Currys – to name just a few.

As well as working independently, you’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with a talented bunch of art directors, designers and animators to flex your creative muscles and bring your ideas to life. Neat, eh?

You’ll also have an award-winning senior copywriter as a mentor. Someone you can bounce ideas off, look to for inspiration and learn from.

Requirements

About you.

You have a way with words. You understand their power and how to use them – and you do.

You’re already writing to persuade, engage, inform or entertain. This might be at an agency, client-side – or neither. It might just be a passion you want to turn into a profession.

Qualifications? We’re not precious. You might still be in education or have recently qualified from a literature or creative course. Passion and ambition are more valuable to us than a diploma or degree.

As well as knowing what to say, how and when, you like to think creatively. Constantly thinking of ways to solve problems and bring your words and ideas to life – drawing on inspiration from the world around you.

So, if you want your work to appear on billboards or on social. To see your scripts come to life on TV or hear them on the radio – we have the role for you. All we ask is for a passion for crafting copy that engages and a knowledge of what good creative work looks and sounds like.

Work’s a treat!

On top of a competitive salary, you can expect a whole load of perks:

• 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays– we understand the importance of you getting some down time.
• Annual Wellbeing Day – enjoy an additional day on us to look after your physical and mental wellbeing.
• Pension Scheme – helping you save towards your retirement home in the sun!
• Corporate Medical Cash Plan – claim back the cost of your medical treatments.
• Smart Working Options – spend up to 40% of your working week from home.
• So many savings– through our online community platform, you can access dozens of daily deals, from money off top brands to discounts on days out.
• Employee Assistance Programme– our people are at the heart of everything we do, so if you’re happy, we’re happy.
• Cycle to Work Scheme – save on the cost of biking to work.
• Monthly Employee Awards - Employee of the Month programme with £250 bonus
• Raising money for charity including a paid Volunteer Day – we’re all about giving back… and having lots of fun in the process!
• Referral scheme– know the perfect person to join the team? You could bag £1,000 for a putting a good word in.
• Wellbeing Programme – giving you the opportunity to join regular, interactive Wellbeing Workshops or join our 30 plus Wellbeing Champions.
• Enhanced Family Friendly Leave – support for you and your family to help you navigate through the craziness of family life.
