We are looking for Volunteer Video Creators / Editors to support a short-term project creating a series of short, engaging videos that promote volunteering and help people discover local opportunities. 

These short videos will explain: 

• What volunteering is
• How to use our website to search and apply for volunteering roles. 

These videos will support first-time volunteers, migrants, and older people, helping remove digital and language barriers to volunteering. 

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape how new and existing volunteers experience finding local volunteering opportunities.

• Clearly labelling files to support future translation versions

• You must be comfortable using video editing software 
• Able to work independently and manage your own time
