Do you know what it takes to create video content that engages with audiences across all digital channels? We’re looking for a Videographer who can bring Skipton Building Society to life for a digital audience. We want someone who has the technical skills and vision to give our campaigns and content a new edge.

We need someone who can take a video from start to finish – including storyboarding, planning, shooting and editing. They should be passionate enough to own video output for the business – developing guidelines and acting as sign off for short form video content created by our social media team. So, if you have a passion for telling stories in ways people can truly buy in to, we want to hear from you.

Who Are We?

We know what you’re thinking. Where’s the fun in financial services? Well, we’re different. We’re not a bank who puts profit before people. Whilst we’re the fourth biggest building society in the UK, what makes us different is we’re owned by the people who save and borrow with us – our members. So, we care about the things they care about.

We also like to push the boundaries of what’s been done before. You may have seen us in the news earlier this year for our brand-new Track Record mortgage – the first mortgage of its kind designed specifically for renters who don’t have a deposit. Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we'll help you take the next step towards a better future.

You’ll be joining SBS Creative, Skipton Building Society’s in-house creative department. There’s currently 8 of us – from copywriters to email developers to content producers – and we sit as part of the wider Marketing Communications team. We’re not your typical in-house creative department. We want the best of both worlds – the excitement and social buzz of an agency with the control and freedom of in house. This role would allow you full ownership of the content you produce. Think creative bravery mixed with 4 o’clock finishes.

Skipton Building Society is based in Skipton, North Yorkshire. It’s only a train ride from Leeds, but we’re conscious that as creatives, we want to be close to the Leeds advertising industry scene. So, we are exploring ways to do more regular work from a Leeds City Centre base.

What’s In It For You?

Skipton values work/life balance and we are proud to support hybrid and flexible working, where possible. We have a newly refurbished head office which offers a vibrant and collaborative working space. Given the nature of the role of Videographer we can accommodate hybrid working; however, you would be required to work from our Head Office in Skipton, North Yorkshire and undertake business travel as part of the role.

The role of Videographer is a full-time permanent position offering a salary of up to £37,000 depending on experience. We have a range of other benefits available to you including:

1. Annual discretionary bonus scheme.
2. 25 days standard annual leave + bank holidays + rising 1 day per year of service to a maximum of 30 days.
3. Holiday trading scheme allowing the ability to buy and sell additional annual leave days.
4. Matching employer pension contribution (up to 10% per annum).
5. A commitment to training and development.
6. Private medical insurance for all our colleagues.
7. Salary Sacrifice Scheme for Hybrid/Electric Car.
8. Colleague Mortgage (conditions apply).
9. 3 paid volunteering days per annum.
10. Diverse and inclusive colleague networks available for you to join including our Carers and Pride Alliance groups.
11. We care about your health and wellbeing – we provide a range of benefits that support this including cycle to work initiative and discounted gym membership.

What Will You Be Doing?

1. Planning, storyboarding, scripting, shooting and editing videos.
2. Planning and shooting to build our bank of imagery.
3. Bring up the multi format content standards across the whole team – leading by example and driving focus and high quality output.
