Social Media Manager – £28–30k + £5k Bonus | Oxford | 09:30-18:00 Monday – Friday

Lights, camera, growth! This is your chance to own the social presence of a fast-growing education company – and be the face that takes it to the next level.

Now on a mission to help thousands of aspiring students start their higher education journey, this business needs a creative, camera-ready Social Media Manager to make that mission impossible to ignore.

You’ll be the driver behind a 40% growth in social reach and the creator of content that not only gets likes and shares but also generates organic leads for the team.

This is a hands-on, highly creative role where you’ll be scripting, filming, editing and posting content daily. You’ll be in front of the camera as much as behind it, and your ideas will shape how the brand shows up online. If you’ve got the creativity of a storyteller, the editing skills of a pro and the confidence to talk to an audience of thousands, this is your calling.

What you’ll do:

• Create, film and edit engaging short-form video content for TikTok, Instagram and other platforms
• Write witty, educational and inspiring captions and posts to match our tone
• Drive a 40% growth in social media following across all platforms
• Turn views into leads with smart, conversion-focused content strategies
• Track analytics, test new ideas and adapt quickly to what’s working
• Stay ahead of social trends to keep content fresh, relevant and shareable

What we’re looking for:

• 2+ years in social media management or a similar content creation role
• Confident on camera with a natural, authentic delivery style
• Strong video editing skills (experience with TikTok/Instagram editing tools or Adobe suite is a plus)
• Creative thinker who can balance fun, education, and results
• Self-motivated, able to work independently, and hungry for career growth

What’s in it for you:

• £28k–£30k base salary + £5k annual bonus
• Staff holidays and team trips
• Internal lead referral bonuses
• Huge creative freedom and zero limits on progression
• A chance to build and own a brand’s social presence from the ground up

If you’re ready to take centre stage, grow a brand and create content that changes lives while building your own career, apply now – and bring your best ideas with you.
