Hours per week: 37

Contract Type: Temporary (12 months)

The Role:

We're seeking a talented photographer and filmmaker to join our Corporate Marketing team – part of Communications and Engagement.

This exciting role will be responsible for photography and video assignments across a wide range of services within Hampshire County Council. The photos and video will be used in multimedia advertising campaigns, on social media and our website, and to accompany press releases. If you’re passionate about storytelling, enjoy getting out and about, organising shoots and bringing the best out of people, this could be the perfect role for you.

In the past year we’ve worked on a variety of film projects, including:

• Guides to the hidden histories of Hampshire country parks
• A day in the life of Hampshire Registration Service Registrars
• A campaign to promote fostering
• Tutorials on knot tying, kayaking and paddleboarding at Hampshire Outdoor Centres

And a range of photography assignments, such as:

• ‘Head and shoulders’ portrait photos of newly elected county councillors
• Interior shots of ceremony rooms
• Students on a school trip at Runway’s End Outdoor Centre
• A Royal visit

Reporting to the Business Operations Manager, you’ll work closely with our marketing and communications officers to produce visually appealing and engaging work – while always demonstrating an understanding of the issues and any sensitivities involved.

We’re looking for someone with excellent technical skills across both photography and film and a varied portfolio of experience that spans long and short-form content. You’ll need to have great communication skills to get the best from a wide range of people. Creative and enthusiastic, you’ll also have excellent planning and organising skills to not only set up shoots, but also manage consent forms for models and efficiently store these alongside the photos and video.

It's essential you have a current drivers’ licence as you'll be required to travel to various locations within Hampshire.

What We Can Offer You:

Hampshire County Council is recognised nationally as one of the highest performing local authorities in the UK. A modern, forward-looking local authority, we offer a pleasant, supportive, and collaborative working environment. This role will involve being out at shoot locations within Hampshire, and a mix of remote and office-based working to support business needs.

We’re a friendly and creative team of professionals who enjoy working together and with our clients, and are committed to delivering high quality marketing campaigns. We'll provide you with all the equipment required to fulfil the duties of the role.

Hampshire County Council is also a flexible employer interested in making the most of your skills and offers a great work life balance. We invest in you through our internal development programmes and training and offer a competitive salary and benefits package.
