Young Content Creator (UK-Wide)

We are looking for passionate young people aged 18-25 to help us create inspiring content about the Woodland Trust. Whether you are championing ancient trees, filming your perfect woodland day out or snapping photos of the changing seasons, your content will help us to reach wider audiences and could be featured on our social media channels and website.

How does it work? We will share creative briefs throughout the year. You can sign up for whichever projects inspire you. Your volunteer manager will organise a call to discuss your ideas, introduce you to any key Woodland Trust staff members and make sure you have everything you need. Most projects are centred around filming, photography and/or vlogging, and we always want to include your creative ideas and unique perspective.

You will need your own phone / camera and will be asked to sign a non-exclusive license to enable any photographs taken for this role to be used by the Woodland Trust to support our work. However, the copyright remains with you so that you can continue to use your own photos and videos.

In this very flexible role, you’ll have the freedom to manage your own time to meet each brief deadline. We expect you to help with at least three projects throughout your time with us. This averages out at around two hours per month, but you can complete more than two hours per month if you wish, with no upward limit.

We’re looking to recruit one or two people from each of the seven Woodland Trust regions of the UK and Northern Ireland. These include Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, North England, Central England, South East England and South West England, so you can connect with people from all over the UK. Projects can be completed independently or as a group. There will be opportunities to receive feedback and discover stats on how your work is engaging our audiences.

To achieve our vision of a world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature, we need to better reflect society and the communities we work in. All people, no matter their background, identity, ability, or circumstance, should benefit from trees. People of colour and disabled people are currently under-represented across the environment and conservation sector. If you identify as a person of colour and/or disabled, we particularly encourage you to apply.

Please contact us to discuss any additional support or adjustments you may need to complete your application.
