Also, working alongside others in our team in creating and editing video content that’s filmed on mobile and other devices. These will be used across our socials, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn, so will need to be able to demonstrate your experience in doing this.
The successful applicant will be someone with a positive, proactive, and “can-do” attitude, with behaviours that reflect both the council and museum’s values. If you are an individual who is eager to learn new skills, make a meaningful impact and be part of a successful and collaborative centralised marketing team, we encourage you to apply.
The post holder will be required to work 29.6 hours per week (between Monday to Friday), Occasional weekend and evening work (e.g. filming at events for social media content)and hybrid working between the Civic Centre in Duke Street and at the Museum of Chelmsford.
