We are looking for an inquisitive, creatively minded, budding multimedia designer to help build our film offer and team. This is a perfect role for someone genuinely excited to help solve some of the biggest problems in our society today by creating meaningful content.

We are Revealing Reality, a social research agency. We realise you may not know much about who we are, but we are the people who:

Inform the government's strategy on protecting children online by exploring children's media lives.
Are pressing for people in residential care homes to be able to stay connected using internet-enabled technologies.
Ensure isolated people-from young people with learning disabilities through to middle-aged men at risk of suicide-are properly supported and connected within their local communities.
Are helping shape the UK's approach to migration and asylum through research with service users across the world.
Inform the government's strategy on protecting children online by exploring teens' experiences of watching porn or sending nudes.
Are transforming the spectator experience of international football tournaments, from the World Cup to the Euros.
All our projects start with research because without a solid understanding of how the world works, there is little hope of making it better. But research does little on its own-that's what makes us so unique-we look to actually solve problems using design, innovation and visual communication to enable and inspire change. We also know how to have fun doing it!

More detail about the role:

There are many opportunities to utilise your filmmaking and design skills here; from supporting on research projects, conducting interviews, to producing content, filming, and editing. We would expect the right person to quickly progress and are looking for someone to share our vision, not only enjoying getting your hands dirty with multimedia production but someone who is able to contribute to the research and has an ambition to grow their career and be instrumental in expanding our film offering.

We are NOT looking for flawless technical knowledge and technique, nor someone who is polished and believes they know it all. We are far more interested in someone with a willingness to harness the creative skills they do have, and an openness to experiment out of their comfort zone, to create the most inspiring outcomes for a project. We know it's not easy. Mistakes will be made. That's part of the job. It's how we learn and develop. We realise harnessing your skills and getting the best out of you is only possible if we do it together. You'll be working within a supportive team of creative thinkers, filmmakers, storytellers and researchers and in an inspiring work environment, where no two days are ever the same.

Required skills, attitude and experience

Curiosity in the world and people around us
A can-do attitude who isn't afraid to get stuck into a wide range of projects
A good team player who is able to work with other creatives and people who are in different job roles
Well-developed interpersonal skills, with ability to communicate succinctly and effectively
A storyteller with an interest in multimedia formats - from traditional live-action video, screen recording, 360 video and remote interview footage
Unflappable and reliable under pressure
A good understanding across key apps within the Adobe Creative Suite including Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects
Knowledge of DSLR's / video cameras
A passion for new technology and the ability to integrate it into new projects
We are a team here but everyone needs to be able to work independently too and there is always a need to be flexible in terms of your role
With creativity, also comes the need of strong organisational skills. We often have deadlines to meet and are very able at working at a fast pace in an environment of growth - we would need you to have an ability to deal with any last-minute changes
We don't hire people to just get the job done. We invest in people who are curious about the world, want to learn and are invested in making positive change happen.

Please note, this role is office-based, so only apply if you would like to work in the office full-time. Filming will take place in various locations across the UK - the successful applicant must be prepared for some travel.

We are looking for candidates who can start ASAP. The salary starts at £25,500 (with potential for more depending on experience). We invest heavily in our staff and want to first make sure you are committed and right for the role and that the role is right for you. You'll be rewarded based on capability, drive and what you deliver, not time spent here, which means there is the opportunity to progress incredibly quickly. If you do well, there is the prospect of a pay rise of 25% in the first three to six months.

Deadline for applications is Tuesday 1 October 2024 @ 11:55pm.
