Fancy becoming an apprentice at one of London’s fastest-growing communications agencies? 
Headland Consultancy’s apprenticeship programme will give you an unrivalled grounding in Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, Financial Communications and much more. If you’re a self-starter who’s obsessed with current affairs and loves to collaborate, please apply. Sounds interesting, tell me more… 
At Headland Consultancy we build reputations that help drive positive change. We work with some of the biggest household names – with clients including ASOS, Just Eat, TikTok and The Body Shop. 
Our clients choose to work with us because we put integrated communications at the heart of everything we do and because we’re passionate about delivering the best work for our clients. We believe that the right reputation helps businesses become agents of change - unlocking opportunities to create financial, social, and environmental value. Those reputations are built on mutually beneficial relationships with all stakeholders, and they happen by design. 
Through a method and culture of collaboration between our experts in capital markets, policy, politics, customers, employees and society, we help our clients see the whole picture and act on those insights. Those actions provide the impetus for powerful communications and build reputations to drive positive change. 
We’re 140-people strong and are based in The City (our roof top terrace boasts one of the best views in London). We just celebrated our tenth birthday and we’ve collected a healthy number of awards in that time, including PR Agency of the Year. We’re growing like there’s no tomorrow and we’re excited to welcome our latest recruits. We’re passionate about collaboration because we believe it drives the best ideas. Our working culture is centred around the idea that everyone, no matter what their level, has a valuable perspective to bring. 
We’re looking for apprentices who want to get stuck in from day one and really make a difference to their teams. The role will best suit someone who wants to fast track their career in communications and hit the ground running. It’s a fast-paced environment where you’ll learn quickly and be supported every step of the way.
