Right now, more than 60,000* children in the UK have been diagnosed with a critical condition, changing their lives and the lives of their families forever. For them, the joy of childhood is brought to an abrupt end with treatment plans, appointments and worry taking over. The power of a wish revives a childhood stolen by critical illness. It brings light and joy to children and their loved ones, leaving a profound and lasting impact on all their lives.

But Make-A-Wish UK can’t be that light for everyone. It takes a community of volunteers, supporters and donors to help these children feel like children again. We’re looking for people like you to contribute to our collective mission of granting a wish to every eligible child.

Make-A-Wish UK strives to be a magical, inclusive and inspiring place to work. You will be joining us at an exciting time as we look to build on our content strategy which will, ultimately, enable us to reach more children and young people who are eligible for a wish.

You will be leading on the creation, production and editing of all visual content for Make-A-Wish UK which aligns with the organisation's overarching strategy and goals, and the core content objectives across the year. This includes video, photography, audio and event materials. Collaborating with those across the organisation to anticipate content needs, you will be driving effective project management to ensure timely delivery, and ensure consistent brand and messaging is communicated on all our channels and through all our networks.

Key Responsibilities:

· Editing video and photo content in line with briefs, producing powerful story-led content that drives optimum results, and fulfilling the organisational content strategy.

· Creating a wide range of video content including social media shorts, appeal films, events coverage and adverts.

· Working with external videographers, photographers and content-related freelancers to ensure they are fully briefed to maximise content quality as well as informed and competent regarding the sensitivities around capturing wish family content safely.

· Responsible for managing Make-A-Wish production equipment, and for the maintenance of said materials.

· Anticipating and actively seeking out the content needs of the organisation, ensuring all content we capture has intent and purpose behind it, and considering how we can maximise the value from the opportunity, so it goes beyond one-off asset creation to drive optimal return on investment.

· Empower, inspire and champion wish families to allow us to capture authentic, impactful stories that drive our income generation activities, working closely with the Wishgranting team alongside Communications team colleagues to ensure we capture the right stories in the right way.

· Championing the alignment internally on a consistent approach to applying key messaging to content as it applies across all teams.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

· Demonstrable experience in producing and editing video content with storytelling at the heart and producing content and campaigns that have driven measurable action and results.

· Experience with Adobe creative software, specifically Premiere Pro but a wider knowledge of After Effects and Photoshop is also desirable.

· An understanding of different channels, audience requirements and response approaches.

· Experience working collaboratively across multiple projects, effectively prioritising to meet deadlines.

· An understanding of best practices and ethical issues relating to content capture and permissions/use including safeguarding and data protection.

At Make-A-Wish, we believe that agile working - which gives everyone an opportunity to have their own work pattern that suits their role and individual needs - is the most effective way to give our best to wish children and supporters, and as a result, deliver our charitable mission in the most effective way; whilst ensuring we create a happy workplace.

The organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check will be required for this role. Employment is subject to positive references and proof of the right to work in the UK.

Make-A-Wish is also committed to attracting and recruiting diverse people as it’s vital that we strive towards ensuring that our trustees, employees, ambassadors and volunteers reflect the communities we seek to serve
