Definitions

The primary objective of a placement opportunity, for a student or young practitioner, is to gain experience and build your CV (resume). Pay should be a secondary consideration. That said, some placements do offer a salary.

 

  • Placements (sandwich year): Also known as industrial placements. These are part of the degree programme, are for a full year, are advertised nationally and pay a salary.
  • Placements: Term used to describe any informal agreement between a volunteer and a supervisor. Length of service is negotiable, to suit both parties (eg one day a week, one week during university vacation). A salary is not payable, but students can often claim back travel expenses.
  • Adoptions: Term we use to distinguish informal placements from the formal, contractual 'industrial placement' that is a part of the degree programme.
  • Internship: Term used in North America to describe the range of workplace learning opportunities listed above.

iris PR is looking for a PR graduate to join the team at a young agency that’s going places fast.

 

Are you insightful, energetic and fun? Are you smart and practical with a down to earth attitude? Are you keen to cut your teeth in PR working on inspiring campaigns for a diverse range of consumer clients? If so read on...

 

We are looking for the perfect graduate to join the iris PR team, who’s keen to make their mark in a young agency that’s growing fast. You will need to have a hunger for media relations, be bursting with ideas and show good written skills and organisation.

 

iris PR, part of the iris Worldwide Group, launched in Summer 2005, and has gone from strength to strength. In the last three years the agency has retained business with the likes of Argos, Finlandia Vodka, Wonderbra, the Internet Watch Foundation, Shockabsorber, Movember and Network Rail, and project work from other great brands.

 

The directors are now looking to recruit a self-starting and pro-active graduate to join the agency. We’re ambitious to grow this company like its parent the iris marketing group, so there is a land of opportunity for the right candidate. iris Group people are self-starters, ambitious, innovative and smart - but down to earth and fun with it. Our people have and always will come first – we survey them every year and we listen to the results and this forms a key part of the strategy of the group moving forward.
