Applying at Headland was a no-brainer. I liked the culture, community, and holistic approach to work. I’ve learned so much about PR in the past few months and every day is truly different. Not only that, I’ve had the pleasure to work with people who not only enjoy their job but are incredibly patient and supportive in my journey, which makes working here a pleasurable experience.

Temi Oguntolu

As one of Headland’s first Trainees, I’m now a Director in the business, advising CEOs and C-Suite Executives on all aspects of reputation management and working with comms and marketing teams to turn strategy into action. Headland is the best training ground for communications consultants. The broad range of clients, sectors and practice areas in the building provides you with such a rounded set of skills and experience. Plus, you’re genuinely working with some of the best people in the industry.

If you’re going to spend a significant part of your everyday somewhere, you want to be sure it’s worth it. You want to be stimulated. You want to work with people who will challenge you. Above all, it’s got to be fun to actually be there. I’ve been here for six years, and Headland is every one of these things

Dave Chambers

“I started out as a journalist for the BBC but becoming a media trainer and leadership coach gave me the opportunity to keep using my journalism skills but in a totally different way. The opportunity to work at Headland’s fast-growing and energised business was too good to miss. Every day is different as I work across our entire portfolio of clients, including prepping spokespeople for interviews with Sky News or grillings from parliamentary committees, or helping a new CEO develop their personal leadership narrative for the business they’ve just started running.”

Jane Hadden

When looking into a career in PR, Headland’s multidisciplinary and collaborative approach made applying to their Trainee scheme a no-brainer. Having studied Liberal Arts at University, my degree was founded on the concept of interdisciplinarity, an idea I was keen to find reflected in a business. Since joining Headland, I’ve been able to experience the entire range of Headland’s offering. Whether it’s corporate, financial, public affairs, or campaigning, I’ve enjoyed working with – and learning from – the rounded teams and consultants at Headland.
