The Role - Photographer & Videographer

This is a full-time, hybrid role with a mix of office, on-location and home working (ideal for editing days).
You'll work across our creative studio in Middlewich, photography studio in Chester, Mock Shop at our support office in Essex and our 120-store network, including new store openings as they happen.

What you'll do:

Working closely with the Creative Manager, Head of Marketing and wider Marketing and Ecommerce teams, you’ll plan, shoot, edit and deliver standout photography and video that brings the Jollyes brand to life.

This role offers variety! One day you might be shooting product imagery for the website, the next capturing the buzz of a new store opening or creating video content for a major campaign.

To summarise the key responsibilities:


Create and deliver high-quality photography and video content
Plan and schedule shoots supporting campaigns and promotions
Art-direct shoots to ensure consistent quality and brand standards
Lead product photography for web, PR and omnichannel use
Capture store openings, refits and events across the UK
Keep store and internal imagery up to date (web, GMB and more)
Edit content to a high professional standard
Build and maintain the image and video library
Support content needs for conferences, training and internal events
Brief and manage freelance support when needed
Bring fresh creative ideas to evolve our content strategy


You’ll be a key part of a friendly marketing team of creatives, designers, copywriters and strategists who shape how customers experience Jollyes every day.

Proven experience, ideally in retail or similar fast-paced FMCG type industries
Confidence and patience working with pets and people on shoots (fur happens and they don't always sit still!)
Strong photography and video production & editing skills
Experience with Adobe tools (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop)
A proactive, hands-on attitude and ability to meet tight deadlines
Excellent relationship-building skills
Curiosity, creativity and a desire to keep improving
An energetic, collaborative mindset
