- Plan, develop, and deliver end-to-end video content in partnership with colleagues and stakeholders - from initial concept, scripting, and storyboarding through to editing and final delivery.
- Work closely with senior stakeholders to strategically shape a diverse range of content, including ministerial visit coverage, powerful case studies featuring claimants, employers, and staff, as well as content for public-facing campaigns.
- Bring a proactive, solutions-focused mindset to producing both reactive and planned video content that clearly communicates departmental priorities.
Responsibilities will be:
- Travelling up and down the country on a weekly basis capturing ministerial content, case studies, influencers, ’always on’ digital content and DWP staff.

- Produce creative, accessible video content designed to resonate with audiences and support DWP’s strategic communications goals.
- Shape and deliver compelling video content that communicates government and departmental policy, including the creation of concepts, content strategies, and pitch materials.
