You’ll have the opportunity to take on more responsibility as your confidence and skills develop. We’ll support you in learning the role, but we’ll also encourage you to contribute ideas, ask questions and take ownership of your work.

You’ll complete a Level 4 Marketing Executive apprenticeship with Ginger Nut Training, combining practical workplace experience with structured learning towards your qualification.

You’ll learn on the job, working closely with our Brand & Digital Lead and colleagues across EducationScape. You’ll develop practical skills in digital marketing, content creation, campaign planning, audience engagement, analytics and event marketing.

Your training will be supported by guidance from your training provider, workplace mentoring and opportunities to put your learning into practice through real marketing projects.

We’ll encourage you to ask questions, seek feedback and build your confidence as you develop. The aim is for you to finish the apprenticeship with a recognised qualification, a strong portfolio of practical experience and the skills to progress into a marketing career.

The apprenticeship is expected to last 19 months, subject to confirmation with Ginger Nut Training.

You’ll develop a recognised Level 4 Marketing Executive qualification, a portfolio of creative work and practical experience in content creation, digital marketing, audience growth and campaign delivery.

You’ll gain the opportunity to develop your own ideas, take responsibility for projects and understand how marketing contributes to business success. Successful completion could lead to progression into a permanent marketing role, subject to performance and business needs.

You’ll need to be comfortable working in a varied role, collaborating with colleagues and communicating with people at different levels of an organisation.

The role involves attending events across the UK, with potential for occasional international travel. Some events may require early starts, late finishes or overnight stays.

You’ll also need to be willing to undertake the required off-the-job apprenticeship training alongside your normal duties.

We’re interested in what you can bring to the role, not just what you’ve done before. If you have a personal project, social media account, college assignment or creative idea you’re proud of, we’d love to hear about it.

EducationScape is an independent media and events business working at the heart of the education sector.

We’re home to established brands including Schools Week, FE Week, the Festival of Education and the Apprenticeships & Training Conference, alongside awards, professional development and digital communities.

Through our publications and events, we connect education professionals, share ideas and create opportunities for people across the sector to learn, collaborate and make a difference.

We’re a small, ambitious team with a broad range of responsibilities and a shared commitment to producing high-quality work. That means there’s plenty of opportunity to get involved, learn from colleagues and see the impact of what you do.

We’re now building our marketing team, making this an exciting time to join us. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute fresh ideas, help shape how we work and gain experience across a diverse portfolio of brands, digital platforms and live events.
