Do you know a young person who is always on their phone making videos and could edit content in their sleep?
Bloom Media is hiring a Social Media Production Assistant for Borders Book Festival this June. We're looking for someone under 30 who loves creating content for TikTok, Instagram, or similar platforms and has a good eye for editing.
Editing is at the heart of this role. They'll be turning around authentic content, for a real audience, at speed, across five days of live festival programming. Alongside that, they'll be working as part of a professional team with young people on the Bloom Media programme, helping them to tell their festival stories on camera.
This is not work experience. It's a paid, professional role designed to give an emerging content creator a platform, a portfolio, and access to an environment that might otherwise take years to reach. They'll also receive plenty of learning opportunities and support from a highly experienced team throughout.
They don't need a long CV. They just need to know their way around short-form editing apps, work well with people, and be ready to go.
£625 fee. Five days. Closing date Sunday 3 May 2026.
