Content Creator

Please note that only applications that follow all 4 points in the 'How to Apply' section will be considered.

Furthermore, while this role is remote, proximity to Herefordshire / North Gloucestershire or one of our 11 locations is essential due to frequent product changes / innovations and ensure timely creation of relevant content.

Tuckshop is something a little different…

Ever been to a food market or food festival and loved trying all the amazing vendors' food? Sampled the BEST brownie in the world, or the most incredible scotch egg? What about that ridiculous cookie slab or that cheesecake that tasted twenty times better than anything from the supermarket? But then days or weeks after, you just don’t know where to resupply… Well Tuckshop is the answer.

Vending machines have been around for a while but never before like this… We stock the very best, unequivocally delicious and most Instagram-able food from small local businesses. All available 24/7 from our state-of-the-art machines conveniently located around the West Midlands. Currently 11 locations, including in Hereford’s Old Market, with several more due to launch this year. We’re on a really exciting journey and we’re looking for a kind, creative & smart person who's eager to learn and willing to join the journey.

We are not necessarily looking for the "finished article". We are on a journey of learning how to unlock the massive opportunity on social media, and we're looking for the right person with the right attitude to come help us figure it out. It's a small team so this is a pretty broad role which is why you'll be supported by and working closely with the owner (Jacob) to bring content ideas to life.

If you’re a content creator who loves all things delicious, thrives on creativity, and knows how to make waves on social media, we need to talk.

Role Overview

You will be the driving force behind our social media and video content. You’ll be an integral part of the team to create engaging, daring and trend-driven content that resonates with our audience and builds our brand identity. This is a hands-on role where you’ll be both in front of and behind the camera, bringing your impactful, creative ideas to life.

Key Responsibilities

Content Creation:

• Plan, shoot, and edit high-quality, engaging content for TikTok and other social media platforms.
• Stay ahead of TikTok trends and challenges, adapting them to fit our brand voice and audience.

Social Media Management:

• Help monitor and respond to comments, DMs, and trends in real-time to foster community engagement.

• Develop a content calendar and ensure timely delivery of posts.

• Track and analyse the performance of content, providing insights and recommendations for improvement.
• Stay up-to-date with platform updates and best practices to ensure our content remains cutting-edge.

Collaborations:

• Identify and collaborate with other creators, influencers, and brands to expand our reach and build community.
