Senior Project Executive (Permanent) in Stoke-on-Trent

Every story matters here. Some are quiet, some joyful, some hard to tell. As a Video Production Executive at Alzheimer's Society, you will help bring these stories to life with care, honesty and craft.

You will join a creative team that believes in storytelling as a force for understanding, challenge and change. Working with the Video Production Manager, you will help produce content across social clips, interviews and longer form films.

People come to this role from many paths, whether film or media training, freelance work, community storytelling or self-taught practice. What matters is your ability to tell stories with care, curiosity and skill, and your commitment to inclusive, respectful storytelling.

What you'll do:

• You will work across the full production process, from early ideas through to final delivery, supporting both fast turnaround content and longer, story led pieces.
• Much of your time will be spent working on location and handling post-production tasks.
• You will film interviews and documentary style shoots, set up lighting and sound, and help create a calm, respectful space where people feel able to share their stories.
• In post production, you will use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to shape engaging, accessible content.
• You will add subtitles and apply accessibility best practice so our work can reach as many people as possible.
• You will also support planning and logistics, including call sheets, scheduling and risk assessments, and contribute ideas that help shape how stories are told and delivered.
• Collaboration is central. You will work closely with colleagues across teams, support sensitive interviews with care, and help share finished content across platforms such as YouTube and internal channels.

About you:

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. You do not need to meet every requirement, and we encourage you to apply if you bring relevant skills and a willingness to learn.

You may have:

• Experience working across the full video production process, from pre-production through to filming and editing.
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro (and ideally After Effects), with the ability to edit content to a high standard.
• Practical experience recording sound and working with lighting in documentary or factual filming environments.
• Experience working on story-led content, including supporting people to share personal or sensitive experiences in a respectful and ethical way.
• An understanding of motion graphics, or a willingness to learn and develop skills in this area.
• A collaborative and inclusive working style, with strong organisation skills and a commitment to accessible, high-quality storytelling.

Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 20th May via MS Teams.

About Alzheimer's Society:

Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime. At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future.

We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be. Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging:

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.

Our hiring process:

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply. Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team for application support or any adjustments you might need.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level.

Giving back to you:

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society.
