We're looking for a creative and curious Content Creator Apprentice to join our team. The role will play a hands-on role in developing engaging content across platforms including social media, print and digital.
The main purpose of this role is to help shape the council’s approach to engaging a younger audience through creating content.
Working to briefs, you’ll help plan, research and produce written, visual and audio materials that support wider media, marketing and documentation campaigns. This is the ideal role for someone who is passionate about storytelling, enjoys working with a range of media formats, and wants to learn how to connect messages with audiences in meaningful and measurable ways.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
