We are looking for the next generation of ambitious PR professionals who would like to join us and work with top brands, delivering creative communications campaigns for positive impact. To thrive at Muckle Media, you’ll enjoy a challenge and have fire in your belly. You’ll be a creative problem solver, who stops at nothing to deliver results, but all while being kind, building great relationships and leaving the world in a better place. This role will provide support to the teams working mainly in hospitality, food and drinks, but wider client accounts may feature in the mix.

Joining a close-knit team, you’ll be equally happy rolling your sleeves up and making great things happen for our clients and the agency, whilst also working closely with colleagues to share ideas and deliver work together. You’ll have excellent levels of attention to detail and not be afraid to challenge the status quo to deliver results.  

This is a 12 month traineeship initially, with the option to apply for a permanent role at the end based on performance and business needs.

For those looking to step up, we offer a fast-tracked career growth path, with the opportunity to learn lots and develop your skills on exciting projects with highly skilled colleagues. We invest heavily in our people, with in-house training, industry memberships and a pathway to CIPR chartership. 

Our hybrid flexible working policy allows you to work where you want, with a mix of home working and access to our office hubs in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Forres and Inverness. (We anticipate this role being 2-3 days per week in our Edinburgh office to give you the best opportunity to learn from colleagues, but we're open to candidates who require less office contact time).

Our benefits package includes a market-leading holiday allowance, a four-day week, and each of our offices includes different perks, from free coffee to free beer.

We are an inclusive team and would particularly like to hear from those under-represented in the PR industry. 

The hiring manager for this role is Emma Scott.

This role is paid at Real Living Wage rates for 32 hours per week for the first year.

When applying, please specify in which location you'd like to be based and please include a personalised cover letter explaining why you'd love to work with us and what you could bring to the role..
