This is a great opportunity for a student that wishes to gain experience with an ambitious and innovative content team in a marketing environment. As a department we are able to provide mentoring and will fully articulate ideas and requirements for the student in place. Though a degree of commitment is needed, we are fully mindful and supportive as to how this post needs to be flexible around current studies. Please note that it would be currently essential to have access to your own laptop/computer and editing software.

Please apply with your CV only then I will send you a separate email where you will need to send any links to videos you have edited that you feel demonstrates your ability.
