Job description
Are you ready for an exciting and creative career in media? A brilliant opportunity exists to join a dynamic publishing and events group offering a media graduate scheme in London from September 2024
Mark Allen, one of the UK’s leading independent media companies, is seeking to appoint graduates for its annual media graduate scheme from September 2024.
This presents an exciting and unique opportunity to be at the heart of a dynamic, very fast-growing and developing publishing and events business, joining a team of highly motivated and talented people, based at our London offices. The group offers challenging and rewarding careers for young and enthusiastic people:
“The company really invests in people at the beginning of their careers, and I have been provided with so many fantastic opportunities”
“I never thought that I would be the editor of a magazine only a year into my journalistic career, and I am so grateful that my managers believed in me and supported me to grow, both professionally and personally”
“For the first three months I worked as an editorial admin assistant, but I was asked to take over the role of editor of one of the publications. I was so excited to accept. I love working as an editor and managing an entire journal”
“I have learnt so much and had incredible support from my team. Two years later, I have gained an NCTJ qualification and recently had my own research peer-reviewed and published as part of a major project for the journal”
The placement will offer you experience in either editorial, marketing or events in our business areas in healthcare, education, music, business to business, agriculture, finance or engineering. This will give you an excellent insight into media publishing. Working alongside the editorial teams, you will gain skills in sub-editing and writing content for the journals and magazines, both in print and online. An experience in the marketing or events divisions will offer you a broad insight into research, implementing marketing campaigns and event operations.
Most importantly, we will work together with you in your learning and development programme, during which you will gain relevant knowledge and real editorial, marketing and events skills, which you will put to use in your forthcoming career. Our journalism course, held in association with the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ), offers the opportunity to gain the very high Level 4 diploma in journalism in the first year of joining the scheme.
The graduate scheme is for one year and is paid. Upon successful completion of your placement, this will lead to a full-time and permanent employment position within the group.
We look forward to hearing from you.
