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.

You will create compelling and engaging video content across YouTube, our website and social platforms, from mini-documentaries, to podcasts and short-form series across news, sport, current affairs and lifestyle. You’ll bring fresh, original ideas, confidently pitch daily and use your editorial creativity to capture audiences in a fast-paced environment..

This role will involve producing, capturing, editing and supporting distribution, working with both other video specialists as well as by yourself. You will help to ensure video content is optimised to drive engagement and audience growth, using analytical tools, competitor analysis and platform trends to inform editorial and creative decisions.

This is an office based role working 3 days per week from our Glasgow hub. We are therefore looking for candidates based in or around Glasgow. The role will require flexibility around weekend work and late shifts in keeping with the current duties of the team.

Who are we looking for:

• Proven track record of working in a breaking news environment and a strong understanding and practical application of media law.
• Capable of shooting high-quality video on both phones and DSLR cameras for multi-platform distribution.
• Highly skilled in Premiere Pro or similar editing software with a sharp eye for how to craft a compelling edit.
• Advanced knowledge of what style of video drives engagement on social media platforms including Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube (Shorts and Long-form) and X.
• The ability to commission and shape original content to meet relevant video KPIs.
• The ability to write creative treatments for stories ahead of commission to suit multi-platform needs and lead production in the field
• A keen analytical mind that is constantly looking at high-performing video content both internally and externally to help shape strategy and content decisions.
• Ensure all output adheres to editorial guidelines and legal and copyright standards.
• Comfortable presenting on camera and recording voiceovers, desired but not essential
• An NCTJ or BJTC qualification.

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!)
• 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.

If you’re excited about this role but don’t tick every single box, please don’t let that stop you from applying.
