Role Summary

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark is seeking a creative, proactive and enthusiastic Videographer & Social Media Officer. This exciting role is an invitation to help people encounter the Lord Jesus Christ and share the beauty of the Catholic faith.

Our mission is entirely evangelistic. We want to help people deepen their relationship with Christ and experience His love through His Church. We are looking for a storyteller who is passionate about the Gospel and can translate that passion into compelling digital and print content.

The Role

You will sit at the heart of our communications team, split between Content Creation (capturing the life of the Archdiocese on film/photo) and Content Management (website, newsletters, resources and scheduling). This is a fast-paced environment with a demanding workload. You will be part of a team that is expected to turn high-quality content around quickly, often under pressure.

Note on Hours: Due to the nature of Church life, evening and weekend work is a regular and essential part of this role (e.g., filming Masses and diocesan events). Time off-in-lieu (TOIL) is provided. 

Key Responsibilities

  • Capture and edit high-quality video and audio content specifically tailored for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube
  • Documenting (photo and written report) services and events, ensuring the visual identity of the Archdiocese is consistent and professional
  • Support the management of the content calendar to ensure a steady, engaging flow of content across all channels
  • Update the Archdiocese website and assist in the production of the monthly MailChimp newsletter
  • Use Canva or Adobe Suite to design printed materials, including parish booklets, posters and digital assets
  • Assist with the communications team’s administrative needs, including monitoring the general inbox and responding to enquiries
  • Administrative duties as required for the team

Essential Criteria

  • A deep commitment to the mission of the Archdiocese of Southwark and a desire to lead others to the Lord Jesus Christ
  • Fully committed to working frequent evenings and weekends as required
  • Proven experience in filming and editing (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve)
  • Experience using Canva or Adobe Creative Suite for both digital and print media
  • Experience with Content Management Systems (we use Umbraco)
  • Excellent copywriting and proofreading skills
  • Experience scheduling content
  • Able to work independently at events and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines
