Student Vlogger

**Please note this position is open strictly to BCU Students Only**

Are you obsessed with YouTube and social media? Are you constantly capturing video clips to share with your followers, or feel passionate about sharing your experiences with the next generation of students? We're looking for current students to join our team of vloggers and produce a series of videos for the University's digital marketing activity over the next academic year (ending July 2022). This is an exciting opportunity to be the face of our student recruitment campaigns which reach hundreds of thousands of people online.

You'll be contributing to our video content on the 'Life at BCU' YouTube channel, as well as content on our website and social media channels. This will typically involve around two to four hours per week depending on requirements. There may also be further opportunity to support university events, such as our open days.

The videos may take the format of diary entries in your bedroom/home, or tours around the campus and city and even Hide and Seek in student accommodation. They are designed to provide an honest and relatable guide of what it's like to be a student at the University and share advice from personal experience on any key worries or issues faced by prospective or current students. You'll also have the opportunity to attend events and popular venues around the city to share what student life at BCU is like to prospective students - so you'll be having fun as well as sharing information.

Social media is an increasingly important aspect of the role - so we are looking for someone who is also able to appear on our Instagram Stories and TikTok regularly to promote their vlogs, cover our Open Days and day to day life around campus. We're looking for people who can be responsive, think quickly on their feet, adaptable to filming in different formats and are full of ideas for engaging content.
