Content Creator Apprentice (Level 3)

Full-time | 13-Month Apprenticeship

📍 Newcastle / Gateshead

Start your career in content creation, branding and digital storytelling.

Basecamp Talent is partnering with a fast-growing North East digital design studio to hire a Content Creator Apprentice to join their creative team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who’s passionate about content, social media, branding and digital culture and wants to turn that interest into a career.

You’ll work alongside designers, developers and creative strategists, learning how modern brands create digital experiences, build online audiences and communicate visually across platforms.

This isn’t a role where you’ll simply “post content.” You’ll gain hands-on experience across social media, creative campaigns, brand storytelling, content production and digital marketing while completing your Level 3 Content Creator apprenticeship.

No formal experience is required, just creativity, curiosity and a willingness to learn.
