Job description

Are you passionate about TV, movies, and streaming?

We’re looking for a creative Multimedia Content Creator to join our Screen Time team—someone who can craft standout written and video content that entertains and informs digital audiences. In this dynamic hybrid role, you’ll cover everything from red carpet events to exclusive celebrity interviews, using the latest production techniques and digital trends to capture attention and boost engagement.

If you’re excited to connect with under-35 audiences, thrive on fast-paced news, and always uphold journalistic integrity, we want to hear from you!

Role Location

This is a home based role, we are therefore open to candidates across the UK.

About us

Hello, we’re Reach. Every day, our trusted news, stories and content connect with millions of people where they live - whether that’s on their social feed or at their neighbourhood newsstand; through their local community or their take on the hot topic of the day.

We're home to more than 120 brands - from household names like the Mirror, Express, Daily Star and Daily Record, to local titles like MyLondon, BelfastLive, and the Manchester Evening News, and brands making a splash in the US like the Irish Star.

It's our ability to understand people and the things that matter to them that makes us the UK and ROI's largest commercial news publisher. We reach 70% of the UK's online population, 10% of the US online population, and over 100 million social followers around the world, reflecting who they are, where they live and what they love.

Your story, with Reach

As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.

We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we’ve built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.

We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.

Job Description

In this role, you’ll generate and pitch story ideas, researching and producing content designed for digital platforms. You’ll create engaging written and video reports, using creative production techniques like graphics and new media to enhance storytelling. You’ll shoot, write, edit, and deliver high-quality video content optimised for different channels, staying up-to-date with the latest trends in digital storytelling.

You’ll adapt content for various platforms—such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and brand websites—understanding the unique requirements of each. With a focus on driving revenue, you’ll contribute to monetisation strategies through engaging video and affiliate content that aligns with brand guidelines and encourages audience interaction.

Collaboration is key; you’ll work closely with brand teams to ensure content is optimised everywhere it appears. You’ll engage audiences across social media, analyse performance metrics to refine strategy, and use AI tools to boost efficiency and accuracy. You’ll also tailor content for off-platform channels when needed, always maintaining editorial standards. For every story, you’ll consider opportunities for audio and video elements, and actively support building a diverse and inclusive organisation that reflects our communities.

Qualifications

We’re looking for someone who can create engaging written and video content tailored for a range of digital platforms, with strong writing skills and the ability to bring personality and the right tone to each piece. You should understand SEO for both video and written content, work well under tight deadlines, and consistently maintain high standards of quality and professionalism. Excellent communication, teamwork, time management, and adaptability are essential.

You’ll need a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Communications, or a related field—or an NCTJ qualification (or be willing to work towards one). Proficiency with video editing tools like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro and familiarity with social media platforms is important. We’re seeking proven experience as a journalist or reporter focused on digital content, with a track record of delivering compelling stories in both text and video. Experience covering TV, film, or red carpet events is preferred, along with a strong command of English language and grammar.

• 25 days' holiday (not including bank holidays), plus an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and ten years. We also have a scheme to help you buy extra holiday if you want to.

• Help saving for your retirement - we'll match your company pension contributions up to 6% and you can contribute through salary sacrifice.
