As part of our Creative Catalyst programme helping young people to access creative opportunities in Thanet, we're recruiting our first apprentice.

Open to anyone aged 16-24 based in Thanet who is not in education, work or training, the apprenticeship will be a chance to get involved in all aspects of Co-relate's work from supporting with client projects and Co-relate programmes and campaigns, to contributing to our marketing and social media.

The apprentice will work a total of 30 hours per week, with 6 of these hours dedicated to training with Big Creative Education. This will mean some remote training and some in-person sessions in London over 15 months to receive either a Multi-Channel Marketing or Content Creator apprenticeship qualification. They will be paid the real Living Wage of £12.60 per hour for the full 30 hours.

If you're already part of the Creative Catalyst programme and/or on the Creative Foundation's mentoring scheme, we strongly encourage you to apply.

Jessica Rose, director at Co-relate says:

"For a small social enterprise like ours, employing our first apprentice is a big step. It's also one we want to take so we can show it can be done and support other creative businesses to do the same. We're excited to meet more creative young people in Thanet and we know we'll benefit from the diverse perspectives and fresh ideas they'll bring to our business.

This is all part of our aims to create jobs and opportunities locally, keep young creative talent in Thanet and support the local creative and cultural sector to grow.

If you'd like to get involved with our Creative Catalyst placement programme, or talk to us about taking on an apprentice yourself, please get in touch."
