Who you are:

You will have some video editing projects under your belt, but this is a junior role and we don't expect you to know everything. Enthusiasm, passion, and a desire to develop in an exciting environment are more important than lots of industry experience.

You'll be comfortable working with a range of teams and individuals, and have the communication skills to collaborate effectively, influence with impact and represent the social team across the business.

You're passionate about story-telling, and have the content instincts to watch an episode of a TV programme and know which moment will drive the highest engagement and retention online. You know your end screens from your YouTube cards, and understand the ingredients for the perfect Instagram story. You might have a YouTube or TikTok channel yourself, or just spend a lot of time on the internet watching James Acaster compilations.

Hybrid-Working
At UKTV, we are working in a hybrid environment with a mixture of home and office working. Getting together in the office as a team and a company gives colleagues an opportunity to build and maintain great relationships, encourages our culture of collaboration and creativity while recognising that colleagues need to have a healthy and happy work-life balance. You'll agree with your manager the split of time you spend in the office or at home based on the role that you do, how often you come together as a team and your personal preference.

Diversity & Inclusion Commitment
At UKTV, our inclusion vision is to truly represent society in our workforce and on-screen, and create a culture of fairness and respect where we champion difference so that every person feels included and empowered to do their best work. We are committed to ensuring a level playing field at UKTV where all employees and job applicants are given equal opportunity, and that we have diverse voices at the table in everything we do. We welcome applications from everyone and we want UKTV to be a place where you can be your authentic self, give your best and develop your career free from discrimination of any kind.
