About CARE
CARE International is a global humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations. Women and girls are at the centre of our work, because we cannot overcome poverty and inequality until all people have equal rights and opportunities.

Experience working on violence against women and girls and familiarity with FCDO-funded programmes, are highly desirable.

You will co-lead the External Engagement and Influencing workstream of What Works to Prevent Violence – Impact at Scale (What Works II), a FCDO-funded programme working to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls globally. Alongside this, you will drive CIUK's own influencing work on gender equality, shaping UK Government policy and building CIUK's reputation as a thought leader on gender justice.

Today the Museum is more relevant and influential than ever. By attracting people from a range of backgrounds to work for us, we can continue to look at the world with fresh eyes and find new ways of doing things.
We employ 1100 staff in a variety of roles, all united by our vision of a future where people and planet thrive. We need everyone to have the passion and drive to help us with our mission to create advocates for our planet and inspire millions to care about the natural world.
Diversity and inclusion matter to us.
Our vision is of a future where both people and the planet thrive. Diversity is one of our core values and we strive to build a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging. All new staff who join us learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion to the Museum and how to contribute to creating an inclusive environment.
We know we have more to do, but we are committed to ensuring that everyone who works at the Museum feels they can thrive and feel valued and respected.
About the role
As Social Media Video Producer, you’ll be at the heart of one of the UK’s most exciting social media teams, specialising in short-form video content that brings the Natural History Museum’s extraordinary collections, science and stories to life. Your work will spark curiosity about nature and inspire audiences to visit the Museum and take positive action for our world, ultimately helping us achieve our mission of creating advocates for the planet.
This is a specialist role focused on the creation, filming and editing of short-form video content, including for TikTok, Instagram and Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts and emerging platforms. You’ll be a native short-form creator – someone who lives and breathes the platforms, understands what makes thumb-stopping content, and can turn a fascinating specimen or nature fact into compelling, shareable video content, often at speed.
A typical week will see you filming and editing short-form video on your phone daily using native editing tools (e.g. TikTok editor, CapCut) and Adobe Premiere Pro, responding to trends in real time, pitching creative video ideas, and collaborating closely with the Social Media Executives and Social Media Manager to deliver a bold and impactful content calendar. You’ll also work alongside our Studios team on opportunities to adapt or complement longer-form video content.
You will apply your video skills to tell the amazing stories behind our fascinating collection of over 80 million objects, our 150-year history and our 350+ in-house scientists working to better understand nature and enable a future where people and planet thrive.
This role reports to the Social Media Manager and is part of the wider Digital Content team. It will require occasional weekend or evening work (for example when covering special events or breaking news moments) and may offer the opportunity for some travel, including to our sites at Tring and Reading. You’ll benefit from flexible working (with at least two days per week in the office), training and development opportunities, and the chance to work at the UK’s favourite museum where social media video is recognised as a strategically important and rapidly growing part of how we connect with audiences worldwide.
About you
You're a short-form video specialist who lives and breathes social media — someone who instinctively knows what will stop the scroll, can read a trend before it peaks, and makes fast creative decisions without losing sight of quality. You have a strong portfolio of short-form video work for brands on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or equivalent, and you're expert at filming and editing on mobile using native tools. You have an instinctive feel for pacing, sound and visual storytelling — and ideally, you're as comfortable in front of the camera as behind it.
You can demonstrate a mix of brave creative instincts and editorial judgement. You'll find the compelling angle in a potentially complex story and translate it into content that's genuinely engaging, accurate and responsible. You're not afraid to take risks, bring humour and emotion to your work, and pitch bold ideas — but you're also organised, collaborative and able to manage multiple projects to tight deadlines. You're excited about the opportunity to build strong relationships with scientists, curators and colleagues across a range of teams that result in great content.

CSAN is the official agency of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference tackling the root causes of poverty and injustice affecting people who live in England and Wales. We’re facing a steep rise in poverty and significant pressures on social, economic and church resources. Currently, the Church is called to raise a prophetic voice against poverty and the rhetoric of division and work for the building of a more just society.
Over the last 20 years, CSAN has built up a network of 50 diocesan and direct service charities with a combined annual spend on social mission estimated at £400m, excluding the work of schools and religious congregations. Our members build up local community life in diverse ways, and many of them support individuals in difficulty, including with housing, prison and detention, social isolation, ill-health, violence, disability, employment, care, therapeutic and welfare support.
The key responsibilities of the post are:
1. To scan the social policy environment to capture developments in legislation, consultation papers and Bills relevant to the Caritas network for the purpose of comprehensive tracking and briefing.
2. To deliver an effective programme of Catholic advocacy and political campaigns that contributes to the common good, with particular attention to the priorities of the dignity of workers, child poverty, social care and end of life; supporting and connecting well with the team’s other activities, and where possible with the CSAN membership’s priorities,
3. To draft campaign and advocacy materials for the range of media channels used by CSAN and support the CEO in engaging with the press and approaches from campaigning organisations including contributing to CSAN’s social media networks.
4. To provide admin support and contribute to CSAN’s Alliances as required, especially the Advocacy Alliance and the Criminal Justice Alliance with information and education on policy and legislation.
5. To ensure that our advocacy is consistent with the Bishops’ understanding of the Church’s role in society and supports the priorities of the Bishops’ Conference, especially the Department for Social Justice.
6. To act as a conduit of information and communication between the Bishops’ Conference and the CSAN members, under the guidance of the CEO, assisting CBCEW where possible in gathering information and the lived experience of poverty.
7. To develop and contribute to practice materials for the network, especially in the areas of campaigning, advocacy, social policy and formation for mission.
8. To oversee monitoring of the Catholic press and relevant wider networks for relevant articles, developments and campaigns.
9. To support the general work of CSAN as required by the CEO, including leading in the development and organisation of the charity in specific areas subject to skills and experience.
The work of the small national team requires a high level of integrity and teamwork, respect for and capacity to navigate complex civil and church contexts at pace, and a stable commitment to personal formation and training. Our Policy and Public Affairs Officer (maternity leave) will bring a professional track record of relevant research and analysis, production of compelling communications, and diligent administration. A satisfactory basic DBS check and references are required.
CSAN is a member of Caritas Internationalis, one of the largest humanitarian networks in the world, with national agencies in over 160 countries, and among the most successful examples of organised Catholic social action in modern times.
