Role Summary: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark is looking for a creative, proactive and enthusiastic Videographer & Social Media Specialist to improve their presence on social media and online. This is an exciting opportunity to work with local communities and schools across South London and Kent, supporting them to reach new audiences. The Archdiocese of Southwark wants to meet people where they are and share the love and joy of Christ. Our aim is to draw people into His Church so they can experience the love of the Lord Jesus to the fullest.

The role will be heavily focussed on content creation – such as video and photo capture – so please only apply if you enjoy creating content and can edit content quickly, while under pressure. For example, some videos must be filmed, edited and uploaded within several hours. You will be expected to run and manage several social media accounts and create content – such as videos, images and infographics – daily. This will include taking photos and filming content yourself, so we want someone who is not only an expert in using cameras and audio equipment, but also in editing and post-production.

We want someone who can work reactively and proactively, and who is ambitious about reaching wider audiences on social media. We will ask to see a portfolio of your work, which demonstrates storytelling skills and your ability to create videos which engage audiences.
