RightsInfo is one of one of the UK’s newest and most exciting charities, building knowledge and support for human rights with engaging, accessible and beautifully presented online content. We’re looking for an enthusiastic, talented Video Assistant to join our multi-award winning team and help us grow our reach even further.
Beginning in mid-April, we’re looking for someone to join us either part or full-time. We’re pretty flexible but are looking for someone for at least three days a week. The position will be for at least three months.
You’ll be working as a junior editor on our template videos and helping out on other video production in After Effects. It’s a chance to hone your video skills in a professional environment whilst also learning about human rights, campaigning and social media. You might accompany our video producer Jack Satchell on a shoot, create one of our explainer videos or do some research for a script.
We’re a small organisation where everyone pitches in, so this role may also include some general office admin, but there will also be the opportunity to pitch your own stories, videos, and other creative content, and you’ll be able to take part in our weekly editorial meetings.
You’ll be enthusiastic, organised, and practical, with relevant experience and skills in video, media, digital, or film journalism, and you’ll come and work with us in our lovely Oxford Circus offices. You’ll also be on board with RightsInfo’s mission to celebrate and promote human rights in the UK. Applications are open until Wednesday 28 March, so do get a move on!
