Job description

About Us

We re Pickles Recruitment loud, proud, purple, local and absolutely not boring. We supply staff across manufacturing, food, logistics and clerical, and our social media is a BIG part of our brand. Fun, real, energetic, slightly cheeky (ok very cheeky).

The Role

This is a hands‑on content role, not just sitting behind a laptop scheduling Canva posts. You will:

• Be in the office 1 day per week filming content (reels, TikToks, stories, behind‑the‑scenes)
• Spend day to 1 day per week editing and posting content
• Plan, create and post engaging content across:
  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • TikTok
  • LinkedIn (lighter, but still Pickles)
• Keep our content fun, current, energetic and on‑brand
• Come up with creative ideas (we don t want copy‑paste recruitment posts)
• Capture real office life, wins, banter, staff, celebrations, chaos (the good kind)
• Jump on trends quickly (speed matters more than perfection)

What We re Looking For

You don t need a fancy degree we need personality and creativity. You ll be ideal if you:

• Love social media and actually get it
• Are confident filming people (and not awkward about it)
• Can edit videos confidently (CapCut, InShot, Premiere, etc.)
• Have great ideas and aren t afraid to suggest them
• Are organised enough to plan content, but flexible enough to jump on trends
• Match our fun, positive, high-energy culture
• Are happy being in-office to film (this is non-negotiable)

What This Is NOT

• Not a remote-only role
• Not just scheduling posts
• Not corporate, stiff or dull
• Not can you just post a quote graphic
