Apprenticeship: Multi-Channel Marketer Level 3

wac is an app that helps people whose pay changes from week to week, including shift workers, freelancers and people with multiple jobs. It tracks working hours, estimates payslips before they arrive and helps users identify when they have been underpaid.

Founded by CEO George following her experience in hospitality, wac supports people working across retail, hospitality and other industries.

About the role

We are looking for a creative and enthusiastic Social Media & Content Marketer Apprentice to join wac’s team and work alongside the Marketing Director.

This is an opportunity to turn your interest in filming, editing and posting into a career. You will manage wac’s social media channels, create engaging content and develop wider marketing skills while working towards a Level 3 qualification.

Being on camera is a key part of the role. You do not need to be an expert, but you should be willing to build your confidence and become one of the faces of the brand.

Key responsibilities

• Planning content ideas and maintaining the content calendar for TikTok, Meta and YouTube.

• Writing scripts, captions and hooks that capture attention.

• Filming content, including presenting to camera and occasionally filming other people.

• Editing short-form videos with captions and graphics.

• Publishing content, responding to comments and messages, and supporting the online community.

• Reviewing performance each month and using the results to plan future content.

• Creating content for organic channels and paid campaigns.

• Answering customer questions by email and through the app, and sharing feedback or bugs with the relevant team member.

• Helping to write, build and test customer emails and push notifications.

• Creating graphics, advertising content, email assets and occasional printed materials using Canva.

• Supporting the CEO with additional administrative tasks when needed.

As your skills and confidence develop, you will also help plan, film and edit content for the CEO’s channels and support wac’s business social media, particularly LinkedIn.

About you

No previous marketing experience is required. We are interested in your creativity, enthusiasm and the content you have already made, whether for yourself or someone else.

We are looking for someone who:

• Already enjoys creating and posting content.

• Can edit videos on a phone or laptop.

• Understands what makes people stop scrolling and engage.

• Writes clearly and has good spelling and grammar.

• Is organised and able to keep to a content schedule.

• Is willing to appear on camera and develop their presenting skills.

• Responds positively to feedback and is keen to keep improving.

Experience with CapCut, Canva, ring lights or microphones would be an advantage. Experience working in retail or hospitality, or familiarity with AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT, would also be helpful.

You will also need to meet the government’s apprenticeship eligibility requirements.

Training and development

You will complete the Multi-Channel Marketer Level 3 apprenticeship with Pro Apprenticeships, supported by the Marketing Director.

Your training will cover marketing foundations, social media management, campaign planning, email marketing, traditional and print marketing, SEO, paid advertising, analytics and reporting. You will also complete a work-based project using real work for wac.

Training combines on-the-job learning, online sessions and some face-to-face training days, with regular progress reviews. The apprenticeship is government funded, with no training cost to you.

You will build a portfolio of published work and gain practical experience of how a startup operates, with opportunities to progress into CEO content and business marketing as your confidence grows.

Benefits

• A fully funded Level 3 qualification.

• A portfolio of real work seen by real audiences.

• Day-to-day support from the Marketing Director.

• Opportunities to develop into CEO and business content.

• 22 days’ holiday plus bank holidays.

• Your birthday off, paid.

• A £30 monthly wellbeing fund for activities such as gym sessions or massages, reimbursed against a receipt.

• Pay reviews every six months.

• A pay increase after the first year.
