Social Media Content Creator (Part-Time)

20 hours a week contract | 4 hours a day | 5 days a week (weekend availability)
Based in Derby (In-Person)

Do you live on Instagram, TikTok,  YT & LinkedIn etc.? Do you know what’s trending before it trends? Always filming, posting, editing or hunting for the perfect sound?

We’re looking for someone creative, curious and online (a lot) to run our socials at Artcore, a visual arts charity in Derby. We’ve been doing cool things with art, exhibitions and community for 30+ years  and now we want to shout about it even louder.

No work experience? No problem. We care more about your vibe, ideas and how you show up online. We’ll check out your Insta, TikTok or content to see your style.

Oh, and we do not mind if you use AI to help create, we’re all about working smart, not just hard. We’ll hook you up with the software and a work phone to create on the go.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Creating fun, engaging content for Instagram, TikTok, YT, LinkedIn etc.
  • Capturing real-time content at events (sometimes weekends too)
  • Keeping our feeds fresh, fun and trending
  • Chatting with our online community (DMs, comments etc.)
  • Helping promote artists, exhibitions, workshops and the cool stuff we do

We’d love if you:

  • Are glued to your phone (in a good way)
  • Love experimenting with Reels, TikToks, Canva etc.
  • Care about art, community, creativity (you don’t have to be an artist)
  • Can commit 4 hours a day, 5 days a week (including some weekends)
  • Are reliable and organised (because we still need to get stuff done)

Bonus if you:

  • Have photography or video skills
  • Already run your own content account or small biz socials

Why join us?

You’ll get creative freedom, a chance to build your portfolio, and work with a small, friendly team making a difference through art. Plus you’ll be shaping the culture in Derby.

We especially welcome applications from people underrepresented in the arts.

How to apply:

Send your CV to opportunity@artcoreuk.com, please include links to your TikTok, Instagram or other social media accounts you are proud of.

Deadline: 20th May 2025
