  • Using our in house database programs and Microsoft Access we’ll show you how to clean and process data and teach you about GDPR and ICO.

  • You’ll be involved in booking orders with couriers, distributors and delivery companies.
  • You will learn to operate and run a range of Print and Mailing machines including digital colour printers and enclosing machines.
  • The role is office based so you will get involved in some general office admin as well as filing and maintaining our data and records. You’ll also get to talk to our clients and suppliers by telephone and email and, as you progress, you will represent the company at meetings with clients and business events.
  • Updating procedures.
  • Working independently on client's campaigns.

Your salary will be reviewed every three months and there will be a job role at the end of the apprenticeship. You will also be able to go on to further studies.

Requirements and prospects

Future prospects

We have a reputation for taking on the right people at the end of their apprenticeship. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who see their apprenticeship as a stepping stone to a permanent job. For the right candidate we will offer ongoing training and support when they take a permanent job with us to study for and obtain the industry recognised IDM qualifications.

Things to consider

We will increase your salary as your knowledge grows – we review apprentice’s salaries every three months. Successful apprentices can expect to be earning £13,000 per year by the time they
complete their apprenticeship.

When you’ve been with us for three months we will offer you flexitime. You’ll be able to flex your
work around our core hours to suit your lifestyle.

There is a cashplan scheme from day one to pay towards optical and dental treatment and a pension after 6 months.

This apprenticeship is completley based in the workplace. Instead of attending college you will meet with your assessor every 4-6 weeks. The only time college attendance will be required is if you need to take any Functional Skills maths and English exams.
