Social Media Content Creator

Social Media Content Creator

Pay: £800 per month

Type: Part-time, with the potential to grow into a full-time role

Location: Fully remote — work from home

Target: 25 scripts (45 seconds each) per month

Reports to: Marketing Lead

At UniUpp, we help students find their way into university — from weighing up their options and choosing a course to applying, preparing for interviews and reaching enrolment.

We're after a natural, confident on-camera creator to put a face to that journey across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, YouTube Shorts and Facebook. You'll take the real questions students are asking and turn them into short, honest videos that help them understand their options and take the next step.

First and foremost, this is an on-camera role. You bring the ideas, the energy and the presence; we provide editing support and handle the rest, so you can concentrate on being brilliant in front of the camera and pick up the commercial side as you go.

The role

You're UniUpp's presenter. A typical week looks like:

• Fronting UniUpp's videos across every platform we're on.
• Coming up with fresh content ideas each week, drawn from real student questions, worries and trends.
• Writing your own hooks, scripts and captions — the lines that stop the scroll and hold attention.
• Filming across formats: talking-head, POV, UGC-style, FAQ, student advice and behind-the-scenes.
• Delivering strong raw footage to the editing team, then reshooting and refining once feedback comes back.
• Working alongside marketing, advisors and admissions to learn what students ask and where they get stuck.
• Watching social trends and reshaping them for a student-advice audience.
• Spotting what's working and leaning into it, with support on the data and strategy.

One thing we hold firm on: everything you create has to be accurate and put students first. We help people understand their choices and decide for themselves — we never promise admission, funding or a job. Honest content is what earns the trust this role runs on.

Content you'll front

Short-form educational and advice clips, POV and UGC-style pieces, Reels and Shorts, FAQ and objection-handling videos, course and student-finance explainers, behind-the-scenes, and now and then a longer YouTube video. Example topics: "POV: you want to go to uni but have no idea where to start," "Student finance, explained in plain English," "Three mistakes students make when they apply," "What actually happens after you apply through UniUpp."

What we're looking for

• Real confidence on camera — this one's non-negotiable.
• Creative, brimming with ideas, and a natural storyteller.
• Able to make things clear and simple.
• Reliable — you turn out quality week after week.
• Open to feedback and quick to act on it.
• Commercially switched-on — you want the content to work, not just look good.
• Genuinely interested in helping students build a better future.

Nice to have (but not essential)

Content or a portfolio we can look through; experience with UGC, Reels, Shorts or ads; a feel for hooks, retention and audience psychology; any grounding in education, student recruitment, marketing or sales.

What this role isn't

It's for someone who brings ideas rather than just carrying out instructions, who's truly at ease being the face of a brand, and who wants to be judged on results. If being on camera or trying out new formats isn't your thing, this won't be the fit.

What you get

• A steady part-time role at £800 per month.
• Performance bonuses: quarterly, KPI-based.
• Editing and marketing/strategy support, so your focus stays on creating.
• Freedom to test your own ideas.
• A genuine shot at building a strong portfolio as the face of a growing brand.
• A clear path to grow: social media creator → senior social media creator → content lead.

How to apply

Every application has to come through our official form:

https://forms.gle/JxyyVbNeaW2VYp3M7

The form is mandatory — we can't consider anything sent outside it, so please don't email your CV across.

Through the form, you'll be asked for:

• Your CV
• A mandatory 90-second video introduction answering two questions:

1. What relevant work experience do you have?
2. Why do you want to work at UniUpp?

The video doesn't need polished editing — as an on-camera role, what we're really looking for is your confidence, clarity, energy and communication style. Filming on your phone is absolutely fine.

We aim to get back to applicants within 24–48 hours.

UniUpp is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from every background and are committed to a fair, inclusive hiring process. You must have the right to work in the UK.
