As a PR and Communications Apprentice at Oasis, I supported internal and external communications, content creation, and project coordination. My responsibilities spanned managing communication channels, producing engaging content, and assisting with campaigns and events. I worked closely with the team to ensure smooth delivery of newsletters, blogs, and social media updates, while also handling administrative tasks such as inbox management and compliance checks.

Additionally, I’ve improved my organisational and time-management skills by balancing multiple tasks and deadlines while working collaboratively with the team.
