About the role
Glendale Creative is a multi-disciplined creative studio with 20+ years’ experience delivering high-quality design and advertising work for global clients across print, digital and physical spaces.

We’re looking for a Junior Design Apprentice to join the studio and support the design team with day-to-day artwork updates and studio workflow. This is an entry-level opportunity for someone who wants to learn how a creative studio runs, build confidence using design tools, and develop strong habits around briefs, feedback and deadlines.

You will support with:

  • Updating existing artwork/design files using clear briefs and guidance
  • Helping prepare artwork and assets for print-ready and digital-ready use (exports, formats, specs)
  • Supporting print/merchandise production tasks (liaising with suppliers, tracking progress)
  • Researching creative references and suppliers to support briefs
  • Keeping file structures tidy with good naming, version control and easy handover
  • Supporting quality checks so assets are supplied correctly
  • Job-linked admin such as organising couriers, tracking deliveries, and updating the Glendale PMS
  • Learning how to plan and prioritise tasks to meet deadlines in a commercial studio
  • As confidence grows, there may be opportunities to support client event delivery (checklists/logistics) and further develop Adobe skills across layout, typography and image editing.

Your training

You will complete the Content Creator Level 3 Apprenticeship with Creative Alliance. Training will include on-the-job and off-the-job learning to build skills in creating content for different audiences/channels, planning and producing content to a brief, brand/tone of voice, accessibility and inclusive communication, measuring performance, and safe/professional digital practice.

Apprentices learn the skills they need on the job with the guidance of a development coach who is an expert from industry. You will finish your apprenticeship with a recognised qualification, valuable industry experience and the opportunity for continued career progression.

Training is a blended learning delivery model: online learning, classroom sessions, work-based training, independent research, workplace projects, one-to-one support and training. Your training will include:

• Brand & Brand Awareness
