About the role

Role: TikTok Content Creator (unpaid, expenses covered) 

Location: Remote, UK-based 

Reports to: Executive Director

The Disabled Policy & Advocacy Network (DPAN) is a disabled-led community interest company. We help disabled people know their rights and belong to their movement, and help organisations turn inclusion commitments into practice.

We're looking for a confident creator to make TikTok videos about disability issues, in English or BSL. You'll help bring disability rights and the disabled people's movement to a wider audience.

What you'll do

• Create 1 TikTok video a week, or more if you'd like. We value quality over quantity.
• Film yourself talking about disability-related issues, in spoken English or BSL
• Add accurate captions to every video, so content is accessible to everyone
• Work with our social media coordinator so TikTok content lines up with DPAN's other platforms
• Send each video for approval by the Executive Director before it's posted

Who we're looking for

• Aged 18 or over and based in the UK
• Fluent in English or BSL
• Confident filming yourself and a confident communicator, speaking or signing
• An understanding of disability-related issues, and able to explain them clearly
• A real interest in the disabled people's community. Lived experience of disability is welcome.

Your image and consent

• Because you'll appear on camera, you'll be publicly identifiable on DPAN's account.
• You'll sign a consent form covering how your videos are used.
• You can withdraw consent at any time, and DPAN will remove your videos from its accounts. Content already shared by others can't always be fully removed.
• DPAN monitors and moderates comments. You don't have to reply to anyone.

Time and how we work together

• Hours: about 2 hours a week (roughly), flexible and fully remote
• Check-ins: a 30–60 minute check-in or team meeting every 4–6 weeks
• You can pause or stop at any time

What you'll get

• Portfolio content and experience creating for a growing social account
• A reference from DPAN's Executive Director
• Expenses agreed in advance and reimbursed
