About Media Trust Films 

Media Trust Films bridges the gap between charities and filmmakers, creating powerful films that amplify the impact of grassroots organisations by leveraging the expertise of our talented directors, many with lived experience of the causes they’re supporting. 

We carefully match charities with experienced volunteer filmmakers who produce and direct short films about their designated charity’s work and impact. Media Trust oversees the production, guiding and supporting the charities and filmmakers as needed.

We also provide training for charities on the filmmaking process and distribution strategies for their finished film, as well as training for filmmakers on intersectional story-telling and working with people with lived experience.

Many of our films have been recognised for their creativity and high production values at the Creative Circle Awards, Smiley Charity Film Awards, Big Syn Sustainability Film Awards and Third Sector Awards. 

This year, Media Trust Films made over 40 short films for charities supported by City Bridge Foundation, Crucible Foundation, John Lyons Charity, The Mercers' Company and Santander Foundation.

Job Title: Content Officer (9 Month FTC)

Reports to: Digital Lead

Benefits: Nine-day fortnight (with alternate Fridays designated as a day off), pension contributions, 25 days Annual Leave, staff learning fund, enhanced parental benefits package.

Based in: London office. (We are willing to consider remote working within the UK, with monthly in-person meetings in London, for the right candidate.)

Application deadline: 13th January 2025 (9AM)

Why this role is important – and why you’ll make a difference doing it:

HOPE not hate is the UK’s leading anti-fascist organisation. Our mission is simple – to monitor and challenge the far right, to engage in the communities that are susceptible to them and to address the issues and policies which give rise to them.

Our team includes researchers, educators, community activists and policy experts, as well as specialists with inside access to far right groups.

As a Content Officer, you’ll play a critical role in driving our digital engagement. By creating compelling content for our social media, website and email programmes, you’ll help us attract, inspire, and mobilise more people to stand against hate. 

Your role will include:

• Content Creation: Write, design, and produce engaging content, including social media posts, emails, website copy and more. Use tools like Canva, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and CapCut to create graphics and videos from new and existing footage. 

• Digital Campaigns: Work with the Digital Lead to plan and execute creative campaigns that inspire action and raise funds. 

• Audience Engagement: Build and manage our presence on Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, X, and BlueSky, and engage with supporters through other platforms. Act as the first point of contact for supporters, responding to messages and comments and managing replies. 

• Performance Monitoring: Run tests on content across platforms, analyse results, and use insights to refine and improve our engagement strategies. 

What we think you’ll need to be able to do the job:

Essential

• 1+ year of experience in digital work for a campaign, charity, or political organisation. 

• Creativity and strong ideas for engaging content. 

• Experience in copywriting, graphic design, and video production and tools like Canva, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and CapCut. 

• Strong organisational skills, and ability to prioritise effectively. 

Desirable: 

• Knowledge and experience in the areas we work on would be an advantage – tackling the far right; building community resilience against hate, division and oppression; and campaigning against policies that fuel hate. 

• Experience using tools like Engaging Networks or WordPress. 

We are looking for someone with the emotional resilience to work in a field that involves challenging content, good political judgement and awareness and the ability to work under pressure and reduced timescales.

We believe that our work will be at its best if it is created by people with a range of backgrounds and experiences. We are keen to interview people who will add diversity to our team. We are an antifascist organisation, which strives to be an effective ally in the wider fight against racism and inequity.

Are you the Strategy and Executive Facilitator to work with Sam?

• Do you thrive in a collaborative, open, creative and highly adaptive environment where all forms of intelligence and perspective are valued?
• Do you have an aptitude and ability to effectively support and collaborate with neurodivergent leadership and with someone whose preferred style of working is strongly verbal?
• Can you be a conduit for creative ideas and visions and enable communications, strategy and organisation, and can you see what steps and actions need to be taken to support translating them into reality?

Our priorities and approach

The Roddick Foundation was established by Gordon and Anita Roddick, founders of The Body Shop. We are entrepreneurial and activist, driving innovative programmes and focusing on people and organisations that take unconventional approaches to advancing justice and empowering communities. We do this through two areas of work; grant making and initiating and incubating system-change projects. Historically some of these include initiating and incubating the Big Issue and 38 Degrees.

Current projects include indigenous rights in Canada and Brazil, a farming cluster project in Wales and creating new ways of trading with indigenous food growers.

The projects are led by Sam Roddick who is a creative entrepreneur and who brings her creative and intuitive abilities to being an activist and leading visionary projects. This role will work closely with Sam who is neurodivergent and the postholder will support her to transform her ideas and creativity into tangible work projects.

About the role and you

This is a truly unique position. It is going to bring a new capacity to the great projects we run. You’ll be integrated into our talented and warm community of colleagues. What we need from the postholder are the creative skills to fully communicate Sam’s ideas and the work to a wide range of people and partners, and the organisational skills to support pacing and planning of projects, creating systems and processes to advance and document progress and learning. They will act as a kind of bridge, relaying Sam’s vision and ideas once they have been conceptualised to various project managers, partners, and other audiences. It’s important to say also that there are elements of some traditional PA support that are required.

If this is how your creativity operates – enabling bridges to be built and creating effective communications – then you might be the person Sam, and the projects, need.

The successful candidate may come from any of a wide array of relevant backgrounds, such as: creative writing, communications, public affairs, campaigning, advocacy, policy influencing, media work, etc. Their career to date could be any number of settings: from film or theatre to think-tanks, to NGOs or international development, to private companies, to research or academia etc. The bottom line is that we are open to where you have honed your communications and organisational skills, and we are excited to hear from you.

About Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, over 750 seriously ill children from across the UK arrive for life-changing treatments. Every day, young lives hang in the balance as patients, families and staff battle the most complex illnesses. And every day, the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs that change the lives of thousands of children – and change the world. This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support to give seriously ill children the best chance to fulfil their potential. Without donations, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity can’t help fund ground-breaking research, advanced equipment, child and family support services, and the rebuilding and refurbishment of wards and medical facilities. Our staff help to raise and invest these vital funds at the hospital and within child health research nationally. A better future for seriously ill children starts with you.

Along with being awarded the ‘Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2023’, we were delighted to be recently awarded the 'Charity Times Fundraising Team of the Year 2023.'
