People and Culture Trainee - Employer Brand Social Media Coordinator Review

Planning social media content and tracking that it is going ahead. Editing content using Canva including video edits. Getting approvals for content created. Ensuring the content posted has adequate advertising behind them and is all working with external agency. Generating new content ideas and future planning for months in advance.

A skill I have developed is being creative and having to come up with ideas as well as executing them. Communication is another skill that I was able to develop by working with so many different stakeholders on a day to day basis, internally and externally. Time management and meeting deadlines was really important in my role and it was great to be able to gain more experience with this skill as well as being adaptable and flexible to any changes or curveballs that may have occurred.

Yes I was given a lot of responsibility with our social media platforms and managing them on a day to day basis as well as managing some big projects within the employer branding world throughout the year.

So much support from the early careers team and line manager/buddies. Lots of training was provided for our personal growth by the early careers team throughout the entire year which was great support.

It’s a very open culture and atmosphere. Everyone is welcome to be their true selves and this allows people’s talents to shine through. It’s a very positive culture.

The placement year was really enjoyable. All aspects were great to experience. I enjoyed my line of work and gained experiences and skills. The social aspect was a brilliant experience and was great to make such good friends.

Yes

Be yourself and believe in yourself. Don’t doubt your skills or experience, your placement year is time to learn lots of things and make new friends along the way.
