Social media content creator

We use positive action under section 159 of the Equality Act in relation to disability or race. This means that if we have two candidates of equal merit in our process, we will seek to take forward the disabled or Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidate in order to diversify our staff team
Pregnant Then Screwed is looking for a freelance content creator who will deliver 2 short videos per week to help PTS build our Tik Tok following. The videos will be entertaining, educational, and engaging. They will explore issues related to the motherhood penalty and feminism using the daily news agenda as a hook.
It is expected that you will produce 24 short videos within a 3 month time period. The videos will be around 45 seconds – 1 minute each. You will report to the Head of Communications and Campaigns. From Monday – Friday you will be sent a series of relevant news articles by a core member of the PTS team to support your research work.
Although these videos will primarily be used to build our Tik Tok following we may also use it on other platforms including Instagram (236k followers), Facebook (40k followers), Twitter (42k followers) and LinkedIn
The ideal candidate will have significant experience of building a social media following using video content to drive engagement. They will have an interest and a good understanding of the motherhood penalty and feminism. They will be comfortable with appearing on camera and representing PTS and they will be well equipped to use humour to communicate a serious (and sometimes complex) message.
Equipment will not be provided. It is expected that the successful candidate will have their own equipment and skills to design, film and edit videos. It is expected that the successful candidate will also present these videos, or will find others to speak to camera
The ideal candidate will:
- Be able to demonstrate an ability to grow a following on social media using video
