Vacancy

Applications for our summer 2025 internships are now open!

Did you know that almost 50% of our current 60-strong team started as work experience, interns or juniors?

Do you want to follow in their footsteps?

Our 2025 internship programme is now open for applications! We’re looking for individuals seeking the first step on the path to a career in comms.

Taking place between April to September 2025, the four-week paid placement will give you hands-on experience in the discipline(s) of your choice. You’ll receive 120 hours of one-on-one time with our industry professionals, working on live client briefs. Choose from consumer PR, B2B PR, consumer social, B2B social or content – or combination of the above, tailored to suit you.

No experience or qualifications are necessary; more important is a curiosity for the industry, a hunger to learn, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.

If you think you should be part of our 2025 internship intake, simply answer three simple questions below. For further information, call 0121 456 3004 and ask for Mel Palmer.

Closing date: Wednesday 5 February 2025.

At WPR, we are passionate about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Our aim is for our team to be representative of society and we are committed to building a workforce that reflects the clients and communities we serve. We have set a target for the make-up of our team to be reflective of the West Midlands community by 2028. It’s an ambitious commitment – but one we are passionate about achieving.
