Main tasks

• Capture engaging photo and video content across the London Wetland Centre, showcasing wildlife, wetlands, events and visitor experiences
• Create and edit short-form videos, particularly Instagram Reels, using Canva and CapCut
• Come up with creative ideas for Reels concepts and new ways to tell stories about the centre online
• Spot seasonal, wildlife and event-based opportunities for social media content
• Help plan and organise upcoming content using our content planner
• Work with the Marketing Officer to support our social media content and help connect more people with wetlands and wildlife

About You

• You are creative, proactive and enjoy telling stories through photography and video
• You are excited by the opportunity to get out around the wetlands, spot interesting content opportunities and turn them into engaging social media content
• You have some experience creating photo and/or video content, particularly short-form video for platforms such as Instagram
• You are comfortable using Canva and CapCut (or similar preferred platforms)
• You have access to your own smartphone or camera
• You are organised, happy to contribute ideas and confident using social media
