Content Creator – must be based in Bristol

Are you a super creative filmmaker who is looking for an exciting opportunity to showcase your skills? Are you passionate about local media and using your creative capabilities for good?

If you join our team as a Content Creator you’ll find yourself at the centre of all of Bristol24/7s plans.

Bristol24/7 is the biggest independent publication in the South West, with unrivalled coverage of local news, culture and entertainment. Our membership keeps our journalism independent and funds community projects that change lives.

Our small team produces content that is read by hundreds of thousands of people – an audience that’s growing all the time. We’re looking for someone to help support our marketing and sales teams with making video content for social media.

Job description:

We are looking for a content creator to join our team. You will mainly be responsible for making and editing short, social-first videos, creating posters, social media graphics and liaising with clients and different teams within Bristol24/7. Your content will be used to support our membership, events, advertising and editorial work.

You will need:

• To be super confident at filming and editing footage
• To have initiative and creative flair – we need someone who can solve problems when out on a shoot and come up with creative ideas
• Attention to detail – if it’s going out on Bristol24/7’s channels, we can’t have any grammatical errors
• To be highly organised and able to work to deadlines – sometimes that means filming and editing a short reel on the same day!
• A passion for local independent media
• To enjoy working independently and as part of a team
• To have initiative and be happy taking on new tasks when needed
• To be skilled in Adobe Premiere and either Photoshop or Canva
• To be super confident – happy to walk into a restaurant/cafe/shop and chat to staff and customers in order to make a film!

 

If you work with us, you will gain:

• Training and support in producing content
• A knowledge of everything that is happening in Bristol!
• Experience of working independently and as part of a team
• Experience of working in local journalism

We also offer: 

• 25 days paid holiday (pro-rata) and an extra day per year of working with us, up to 30 days
• A free membership so you can access our exclusive perks
• A fun and busy work environment and some good after-work nights out
• A paid four-week sabbatical after four years of working with us
• Bike to Work scheme

We believe our work will be stronger with greater diversity and welcome applications from those who bring balance to our team. Bristol24/7 welcomes the whole person to work, and we understand that each of us brings our experiences, our backgrounds and our own unique lens to what we do.

You may not have worked in journalism before or in an organisation like Bristol24/7. Perhaps you have worked in other creative industries or you may have just left full-time education.

If you are from a background that is not well represented in the media industry, we want to hear from you. This includes if you are:

• a person who experiences racism and/or
• a disabled person and/or
• a person who identifies as having a working class background and/or
• a person who was eligible for free school meals as a child

At the moment we are flexible in our approach to where we work. Most of our team are spending approximately two days a week in our office at the Tobacco Factory and three days a week from home.

Applications close on October 9. To apply, please send a one page covering letter and CV to [email protected]. We aim to hold interviews in person at the Tobacco Factory in the week commencing October 14.
