Unifrog’s mission
We’re on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counsellors to manage the progression process effectively.
Our outlook is global - we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, and from Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.
We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with over half of UK secondary schools, and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer (check out this video to hear more about the Unifrog platform).
Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
We believe in the power of diversity. If you are from an ethnic minority background, we would like to strongly encourage you to apply.
Content at Unifrog
Whether we are communicating through images, video or text, we always try to be straightforward, honest, and to show respect for the people with whom we are communicating.
Clear communication is particularly important for us because our mission is to level the playing field when it comes to access to opportunities, and a big part of this effort is fair and straightforward access to information. It’s also important for us to be fun, while not talking down to young people.
Over the last few years, we have created hundreds of videos aimed at students and teachers.
We now have an exciting slate of new video projects that we want to produce. We want to use video:
-
To develop some of the most popular parts of the Unifrog platform, currently used by hundreds of thousands of young people every week to explore different careers, different subjects at university, and topics that matter to them like Climate Change and Wellbeing.
-
To help us create brand new tools within the platform, expanding what Unifrog offers to young people, and how we interact with external partners like employers and universities.
We also want to improve the quality of the videos we create, making them slicker and more useful to our users.
Working together
You’ll join a Video team of five colleagues, and you’ll be line managed by the Head of Video. You will work collaboratively with colleagues across various departments, including the Marketing team, the Employer and HE teams and the Written content team.
Within the Video Team, we foster a collaborative environment where brainstorming sessions are common, feedback is exchanged among team members, and we actively seek input from educators and students at our partner schools. We value and promote innovative ideas, regardless of their origin.
The role
We are looking for a skilled and creative Producer/Director who will shoot and edit 2-3 minute videos aimed at young people, which will be hosted on the Unifrog platform.
You will collaborate with both internal and external contributors to organise film shoots. Our in-person productions utilise high-quality professional equipment, where you will work independently as the primary shooter, directing video stars, setting up equipment, conducting interviews and filming creative B-roll.
Our partners are located across the UK, so this role requires frequent travel for on-location filming.
In the last year we’ve made videos such as:
-
Careers guides in partnership with employers such as the BBC, Royal Ballet and Opera and The Royal Navy.
-
University guides in partnership with several Universities in the UK and abroad.
-
Explainer videos launching new tools on our platforms.
-
Event videos for our Employer Forum event and partner events such as the Global Offshore Wind event.
-
A case study highlighting the impact of work experience opportunities from our employer partners on schools from disadvantaged backgrounds.
You’ll create videos like these, and you’ll also help us with our ambitious plans for creating completely new types of videos which will allow us to develop new parts of the Unifrog platform.
The role and your key responsibilities
-
Working with external partners: You’ll work with other people on the Unifrog team to organise shoots with external contributors, on location. You will need excellent interpersonal skills, and persistence so that you can make things happen. Strong adaptability skills are also required to make real-time improvements to existing scripts, if needed.
-
Directing shoots: Working primarily solo on shoots, you must be confident in directing on-location productions, managing video talent, and handling all other aspects of the shoot independently. You will also need strong storytelling and interviewing skills to bring our content to life.
-
Technical skills: You need to be able to operate cameras such as the A7S, to be competent with lights and sound, and to be proficient at using the Adobe suite, in particular Premiere Pro for any necessary edits.
-
Juggling projects and meeting deadlines: We always have lots of productions happening simultaneously, and we have very high standards for the end-product. You need to be organised to meet tight deadlines and determined to get things done on time, promptly communicating any challenges that may arise.
-
Editing Skills: You will also be responsible for editing videos as needed to help with the workload demands from the post-production team. This includes assembling footage to craft a compelling story, working with graphics templates, cutting to refine pacing and length, audio editing, and applying basic colour correction. Strong editing skills are essential to transform footage into engaging content while meeting tight deadlines.

Background Information
The Screen Academy Foundation fundraises for the London Screen Academy (LSA) and the East London Arts & Music (ELAM) - two free-to-attend, Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ sixth form academies for 16-19 year olds in London which, combined, are teaching just under 1200 young people every year. With the opportunity to work alongside an inspiring and supportive Board of Trustees from across the Film, TV, Media, and Music industries, this role is within an ambitious and exciting Foundation.
Part of the same multi-academy trust (the Day One Trust), LSA and ELAM were founded by industry leaders from the film and music industries who wanted to address the lack of diversity, inequality of opportunity and serious skills shortage in the creative industries.
LSA and ELAM’s shared mission is to transform and diversify the creative industries by enabling access to all young people, no matter their background, and to develop the most well-rounded, highly skilled workforce possible, which reflects the cultural and socioeconomic diversity of the world we live in. LSA teaches a behind-the-scenes Film & TV programme in Highbury whilst ELAM teaches Music, Games Design and Film & TV in Bromley-by-Bow.
Everything the Academies offer is practical, relevant and plugged into the real world. By combining an innovative and ever-evolving education with dedicated in-house Industry Engagement and Alumni & Careers teams, we seek to radically change access routes to the creative industries and transform lives and trajectories. Our diverse students are leaving LSA and ELAM highly employable and ‘industry-ready’, with the skills, knowledge, professional behaviours and network needed to fulfil their potential and ensure a successful career.
Fundraising for LSA and ELAM
As sixth form academies, the LSA and ELAM receive funding from the Department for Education. However, in order to provide students with world class facilities and equipment, opportunities to engage with industry, arts and culture, and services to support their mental health, the charity needs to raise an additional c. £2.2m each year to supplement the Government funding.
Philanthropy and corporate partnerships are therefore crucial to the success of the Academies. In addition to major donors and trusts & foundations, LSA has developed partnerships with corporations such as NBCUniversal, Netflix and Disney, and ELAM have relationships with Universal Music Group, UTA and PPL.
