Job description

Bring stories to life - join us as a Videographer!

We’re looking for a creative, driven Videographer who can capture compelling stories both in the field and in the studio, to clearly document stories across all AV output.

This role is home & hub linked to our East Midlands hub, so you must be able to work from our offices in Nottingham.

You will be covering a Sunday - Saturday rota between 6am - 11pm, so flexibility is key.

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 trusted brands - from household names like the Mirror, Express, Daily Star and Daily Record, to local titles like the Manchester Evening News, MyLondon, BelfastLive 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 Ireland's largest commercial news publisher. We reach 70% of the UK's online population and speak to over 100 million social followers around the world. And we’re just getting started…

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.

About this role

You’ll shoot, edit, and craft engaging video content for multiple platforms, from breaking news to original features; shaping stories through visuals, sound, and style.

As a key part of our video team, you’ll collaborate with producers and journalists, use AI tools to boost creativity and efficiency, and lead the way on complex filming and editing challenges. You’ll also help optimise content across platforms, create affiliate videos that drive engagement and revenue, and ensure every piece meets the highest editorial and legal standards.

This is a fast‑paced, hands‑on role where no two days are the same – expect to travel, work to a rota, and play a vital part in delivering impactful storytelling that reflects the diverse communities we serve.

What you'll need to succeed

As a skilled Videographer, you’ll have a proven track record in creating high‑quality, engaging video content across studio and field environments. You’ll be highly proficient in shooting on DSLR cameras, editing with Adobe Suite (or equivalent), and shaping original content to meet AV KPIs. Strong planning, organisational, and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently or collaboratively. Newsroom experience and media law knowledge are desirable.

Adaptability and professionalism are key in this fast‑paced role and candidates should be able to demonstrate work that drives online engagement.

How we'll look after you

We take good care of our people – and that means more than just a pay packet. Whatever your role, you'll get a range of benefits, including:

• 25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years. We also have a scheme to help you buy extra holiday if you want to.
• An extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
• Big moment day – an extra day’s paid leave for a moment that matters to you – like getting married, moving house or welcoming a new addition to the family (human or furry!)
• Bonus scheme – you'll get a stake in our success and a chance to add to your annual earnings.
• Help saving for your retirement – we'll match your company pension contributions up to 6% and you can contribute through salary sacrifice.
• Supportive and progressive people policies – we’re proud to have a range of policies to support people in their lives in and outside work, including enhanced family leave and policies to promote flexibility, inclusion and progression. We believe you shouldn’t have to wait to join us to know what to expect from us, which is why we share this overview of the policies we have in place to support families and carers. If there's something you want to understand more about, just ask – it won’t make a difference to your application.
• A healthcare cash plan – giving you money back for a range of medical expenses and fast access to doctor's appointments.
• Car lease scheme – you can buy a brand new electric or hybrid car through our leasing partner, and pay for it through salary sacrifice.
• Wellbeing support – including a 24/7 assistance programme for you and your family.
• Access to lots of discounts – including 15% off with Reach's very own online marketplace, Yimbly, where you can buy everything from homewares to beauty products.
• Interest‑free loans – including for season tickets and technology.
