As one of the UK’s top motor insurers, Somerset Bridge Group is on an exciting journey to strengthen how we present our brand externally—bringing our culture, people and ambition to life in a more consistent and engaging way. We’re looking for a graduate intern with a passion for marketing, social media or employer branding to support the planning, creation and performance analysis of content on our company LinkedIn page. This is a hands-on opportunity to gain real-world experience shaping how a growing business tells its story, builds its brand and engages the talent we want to attract.

Content planning & creation

- Create and draft posts (e.g. employee stories, culture highlights, industry insights)
- Ensure content reflects our employer brand, values and tone of voice
Posting & channel management
- Schedule content on the SBG LinkedIn page
- Work with stakeholders to gather inputs, stories and approval for posts
- Ensure posts align with internal social media policy and brand guidelines
Performance tracking & optimisation
- Monitor post performance (engagement, reach, clicks, etc.)
- Produce simple reports and insights on what’s working and what isn’t
- Recommend improvements and test new approaches to increase engagement
-
Are a recent graduate (or about to graduate) in Marketing, Communications, Business or a related field

Bonus (but not essential):
