This role will have a particular focus on producing video content – both as a presenter and editor.

We’re looking for someone who has both the content creation skillset and knowledge of current affairs to translate complex issues into entertaining content. You will have a collaborative approach, be able to build strong relationships across teams and be comfortable working in a fast, reactive environment, where content is often developed, crafted and published in response to breaking news.

There are no formal education requirements for this role. As long as you can show us that you have the skills, we don’t mind where you got them from! To be successful in your application you must meet the requirements of this role and complete the task below which are part of the selection criteria. Without completion of this task your application cannot be considered.

Your background and experience

We are looking for someone who understands our organisation and theory of change, and shares both our passion for great content and our determination to change the country for the better.

You will have worked at or with similar organisations or built your own profile creating content around social and political issues. You’ll have experience creating both graphic and video content and knowledge of the design and editing tools needed to create social media content.

You will be a sharp copywriter, skilled in writing social native copy and have excellent knowledge of social media trends. You will likely have experience presenting video content – or are keen to develop this skillset and create more content on-camera.

You will have a keen interest in social media, stay across the ever changing social landscape, have lots of content creators you follow and can draw ideas and inspiration from, and believe in the ability to use social media to genuinely change minds and make people take action which matters.

You’ll be passionate about campaigning and have a sharp understanding of the power of social media to mobilise large numbers of people in support of campaigns.

About us

38 Degrees is a community of more than a million people who – in a moment away from their busy days – take small actions on issues they care about, which all add up to something bigger, a movement for a better Britain for everyone who calls our country home.

A Britain where we all get a fair chance in life and where the place we were born, or the area we live in, doesn’t decide that chance. Where we protect our planet and hold those in power to account for doing the same, and where we are treated, and treat one another, with respect.

In the space of a week, millions of supporters could be campaigning on anything from protecting our NHS and stopping cuts to Universal Credit, to saving local green spaces and protecting our democracy.

38 Degrees is fiercely independent. We are primarily funded by small donations from hundreds of thousands of members of the public from all over the UK. This independence means we never have to hold ourselves back from taking on those with power and can truly listen to our supporters.

• Impact Tracking & Administration: Use internal database tools to maintain GDPR-compliant records and contribute data for evaluation reports against fixed KPIs.
• Professional Standards: Work cooperatively with the broader Energy Team and complete a full Level 3 Energy Awareness qualification during your induction.

About You

We are looking for a confident communicator who thrives when speaking to groups and building networks. You should be highly organized, self-motivated, and comfortable working in a targeted environment.

Essential Requirements:

• Proven experience in grassroots community engagement, outreach, or partnership working.
• Strong background in delivering training, presentations, or educational workshops to diverse audiences.
• Experience delivering programmes focused on financial capability, budgeting, or energy-saving measures.
• Excellent data and IT skills, with an understanding of the barriers faced by low-income or vulnerable communities.
• Commitment to the aims and principles of the Citizens Advice service.

We offer a range of employee benefits, including generous annual leave, pension contribution, and training and opportunities to continue your professional development.

We consider applications from all applicants who meet the person specification irrespective of sex, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief, age, or disability.
