• Can check text, images and layouts for accuracy and consistency in line with brand guidelines.
• Feel confident using everyday digital tools (such as Microsoft Office or Teams) and are willing to learn new marketing systems and basic creative software.

• Have prepared or edited simple graphics, photos or short videos using tools such as Canva, following templates or briefs.
• Have contributed content for social media or websites within brand guidelines, under supervision.
