Hours: 35 per week

Contract: 12-month fixed-term contract

Salary: £56,124 per annum

Here at Crisis, we’ve launched a new brand, marketing and fundraising strategy which centres around four growth areas we’ve named the ‘Fab Four’: regular giving, mid-value, high-value and legacy. Three of these areas sit within the Individual Giving team so it’s an exciting time to join the organisation, to be bold, make a real impact and embed this new approach and strategy.

The warm Christmas appeal will be a key campaign moment in your year, and you’ll help ensure new supporters feel thanked, inspired, and motivated to stay with us for the long term. 

You’ll also help build the business case for future supporter Development investment and flex to support the wider Individual Giving and Supporter Experience team as priorities shift.

You have collective responsibility with your lead peers in the expansion of year-round campaigns, Regular Giving and Legacy expressions of interest. These are our team goals, in which we all play our part.

You will join a creative team that believes in storytelling as a force for understanding, challenge and change. Working with the Video Production Manager, you will help produce content across social clips, interviews and longer form films.
People come to this role from many paths, whether film or media training, freelance work, community storytelling or self-taught practice. What matters is your ability to tell stories with care, curiosity and skill, and your commitment to inclusive, respectful storytelling.

Much of your time will be spent working on location and handling post-production tasks. You will film interviews and documentary style shoots, set up lighting and sound, and help create a calm, respectful space where people feel able to share their stories.
In post production, you will use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to shape engaging, accessible content. You will add subtitles and apply accessibility best practice so our work can reach as many people as possible.
You will also support planning and logistics, including call sheets, scheduling and risk assessments, and contribute ideas that help shape how stories are told and delivered.
Collaboration is central. You will work closely with colleagues across teams, support sensitive interviews with care, and help share finished content across platforms such as YouTube and internal channels.
In this role, you will:

- Film high quality interviews and documentary style content in varied settings
- Record sound and set up lighting to capture professional footage
- Edit video using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
- Add subtitles and support accessible content delivery
- Support planning, scheduling and risk assessments
- Work sensitively with people sharing personal stories
- Contribute creative ideas from concept to delivery
- Upload and organise content across digital platforms

About you
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. You do not need to meet every requirement, and we encourage you to apply if you bring relevant skills and a willingness to learn.
You may have:

- Experience working across the full video production process, from pre-production through to filming and editing
- Strong working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro (and ideally After Effects), with the ability to edit content to a high standard
- Practical experience recording sound and working with lighting in documentary or factual filming environments
- Experience working on story-led content, including supporting people to share personal or sensitive experiences in a respectful and ethical way
- An understanding of motion graphics, or a willingness to learn and develop skills in this area
- A collaborative and inclusive working style, with strong organisation skills and a commitment to accessible, high-quality storytelling

Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 20th May via MS Teams

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.  

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.
