Full-Time Social Media Content Editor & Video Creator

We’re looking for a fast, creative and highly motivated Social Media Content Editor / Video Creator to join our team full-time.

This role is for someone who understands how social media works and knows how to create videos that grab attention, keep people watching and make them want to come back for more.

We’ll mainly be creating content for YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, with the possibility of helping with other social media platforms and content as we grow.

What you’ll be doing

• Editing short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
• Editing longer YouTube videos when needed
• Turning raw footage into engaging, entertaining content
• Adding captions, text, sound effects, music, zooms, cuts and other edits to keep viewers watching
• Helping us come up with ideas for videos, hooks and ways to improve our content
• Looking at what is performing well and helping us create more of it
• Repurposing content across different platforms
• Keeping up with social media trends and understanding what gets views
• Potentially helping with thumbnails, titles and other areas of content creation
• Working quickly — if something is performing well, we want to be able to create and post more content while the opportunity is there

The person we’re looking for

You need to:

• Speak and understand English very well
• Have excellent attention to detail
• Work quickly without sacrificing quality
• Understand what makes someone stop scrolling
• Understand the importance of the first 1–3 seconds of a video
• Be creative and willing to suggest ideas rather than simply waiting for instructions
• Be comfortable receiving feedback and making changes quickly
• Be reliable and available Monday to Friday
• Be able to work full-time
• Have a strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube
• Have experience editing social media videos

Experience is a big advantage, but we care more about what you can actually produce than what your CV says.

If you don’t have years of experience but you can genuinely wow us with your editing, creativity and understanding of social media, we still want to hear from you.

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

We are not looking for someone who simply follows instructions and waits for the next task.

We want someone who can look at a video and say:

“This bit is going to lose viewers — I’d change it like this.”

We want someone who is interested in getting results, not just completing edits.

Because of the speed we work at, we also need someone who can respond and turn work around quickly during working hours.

Your application

To make sure we find the right person, please DO NOT send us a generic copy-and-paste application.

Your application must include:

1. Tell us in 3–5 sentences why you think you would be good at this job.

2. Send us links to 3 videos you have personally edited.
Please explain briefly what you did on each one.

3. Tell us which editing software you use and how long you have been using it.

4. Give us ONE example of a TikTok, Instagram Reel or YouTube Short you have seen recently that you think was particularly well made. Tell us WHY you think it worked.

5. QUICK TEST — this is important:
Imagine we give you a video that starts slowly and has a 30-second introduction before anything interesting happens.

In 2–3 sentences, tell us what you would do to improve it.

6. THE TRAP:
At the very beginning of your application, write the words:

“I read the whole job advert.”

Applications that don’t include this may be ignored.

We’re doing this because we want to see who actually reads instructions and who is simply sending the same application to every job.

Video Test

Shortlisted applicants will be asked to complete a small video editing test using footage we provide.

This will help us see your actual ability rather than relying on a CV.

We will be looking at:

• Editing quality
• Creativity
• Pacing
• Hooks
• Captions/text
• Understanding of social media
• Attention to detail
• How well you follow instructions
• How quickly you complete the task

Please don’t spend hours on the test. We want to see how you think and edit, not how much unpaid work you’re willing to do.

This job could be a great fit if…

You’re the type of person who watches a video and automatically starts thinking:

“I would cut that bit.”
“That needs a better hook.”
“That should happen sooner.”
“That could be turned into three Shorts.”
“People are going to comment on that.”

If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
