Digital Media Assistant

Hybrid working arrangement from our central Birmingham office

Excellent salary + benefits (see below for full details)

We currently have a fantastic opportunity for a Digital Media Assistant to join our dynamic team and help enhance our online presence.

This role is designed for someone at the start of their career. We’re looking for attitude and curiosity as much as polished experience. If you’re keen to learn and ready to get stuck in, then this could be the role for you!

We’re a financial advice firm which means we help people make better decisions about their money. The content you will help to produce has real purpose: helping people grow, protect and transfer wealth with confidence.

We’re looking for someone creative, curious and hands-on – someone at the start of their career who’s ready to get stuck in with real content and media work. You’ll be part of our communications team, helping to shape how we show up online across video, audio, social and web.

You don’t need to be an expert, just someone who’s comfortable experimenting with content, and who has a good instinct for what works on platforms like LinkedIn or YouTube.

As part of your application, you will be asked to include a link to something you’ve created online, this could be a short video, podcast, or other media project from your studies or personal work. We can’t get a feel for what you’re capable of without seeing it, so applications without a link unfortunately won’t be considered.

The Role

You’ll work closely with our Digital & Content Lead and the wider comms and marketing team to plan, create and publish content across LinkedIn, YouTube and our website. That means writing copy, recording and editing audio or video, uploading content through our CMS, and keeping everything tidy, accurate and on brand.

You’ll help us keep the website fresh – updating pages, reviewing what’s already there, and making suggestions to improve how it performs. There’s real variety in the tools and formats you’ll work with – from writing web copy and editing short videos, to helping with podcast audio or scheduling posts. If you’re the kind of person who likes trying new things and picking up skills as you go, this is the place for it!

There’s lots of variety here, one day you might be helping to publish a podcast, the next refreshing web copy or supporting a campaign idea. You’ll be part of planning sessions, involved in creative thinking, and learning how digital content supports a bigger brand and business message. It’s a great first role for someone who wants to build real experience.
