Our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

We're especially keen to hear from people who'll bring lived experience of the issues we work on and who'll make our team more diverse as a result. So if you're Black, Asian or from any other minority ethnic group, if you're disabled, LGBTQIA+, or if you're from a working class home, your application will be especially welcome. And thanks to our flexible home working approach and network of offices, we have a staff team that is increasingly based across the UK. A third of us live outside London. We're keen to continue diversifying geographically, so that we're rooted in our supporters' communities. To make sure that we are able to reach our goal of a diverse team we have equal opportunities monitoring requirements. Your application will not be complete without the equal opportunities monitoring form. 38 Degrees is committed to inclusive working practices, so during the application process we commit to:

• Paying for childcare whilst you're at 38 Degrees interviews or tasks.
• Paying for your travel costs to the office and back - and for overnight accommodation if you're travelling from a long distance for an interview although at present the majority of interviews are held online.
• Making any reasonable adjustments - for example ensuring we have a BSL interpreter organised in advance if you'd need one.
• If there is anything else you're concerned about or think we could provide, please let us know.

This role will have a particular focus on producing video content - both as a presenter and editor. We are looking for creators who are experienced in producing content for Instagram Reels and TikTok, knowledgeable about social media trends, comfortable on camera and adept at producing vertical video - and want to use those skills to make a difference on the biggest issues impacting people's lives across the country. This job is for you if you're passionate about making the country fairer, more respectful, and more sustainable - and have the skills and drive to create content and develop social media-led campaign tactics which make people want to get involved, join us and take action. We're looking for someone who has both the content creation skillset and knowledge of current affairs to translate complex issues into entertaining content. You will have a collaborative approach, be able to build strong relationships across teams and be comfortable working in a fast, reactive environment, where content is often developed, crafted and published in response to breaking news. There are no formal education requirements for this role. As long as you can show us that you have the skills, we don't mind where you got them from!

Your background and experience

We are looking for someone who understands our organisation and theory of change, and shares both our passion for great content and our determination to change the country for the better. You will have worked at or with similar organisations or built your own profile creating content around social and political issues. You'll have experience creating both graphic and video content and knowledge of the design and editing tools needed to create social media content. You will be a sharp copywriter, skilled in writing social native copy and have excellent knowledge of social media trends. You will likely have experience presenting video content - or are keen to develop this skillset and create more content on-camera. You will have a keen interest in social media, stay across the ever changing social landscape, have lots of content creators you follow and can draw ideas and inspiration from, and believe in the ability to use social media to genuinely change minds and make people take action which matters. You'll be passionate about campaigning and have a sharp understanding of the power of social media to mobilise large numbers of people in support of campaigns. As part of this team you'll regularly be involved in developing campaign tactics as well as content, and helping to upskill the wider team on the opportunities that social media campaigning presents.

38 Degrees is a community of more than a million people who - in a moment away from their busy days - take small actions on issues they care about, which all add up to something bigger, a movement for a better Britain for everyone who calls our country home. A Britain where we all get a fair chance in life and where the place we were born, or the area we live in, doesn't decide that chance. Where we protect our planet and hold those in power to account for doing the same, and where we are treated, and treat one another, with respect. In the space of a week, millions of supporters could be campaigning on anything from protecting our NHS and stopping cuts to Universal Credit, to saving local green spaces and protecting our democracy.

38 Degrees is fiercely independent. We are primarily funded by small donations from hundreds of thousands of members of the public from all over the UK. This independence means we never have to hold ourselves back from taking on those with power and can truly listen to our supporters.
