NUS is a confederation of over 440 students’ unions representing just under 4m students and apprentices across Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
NUS Charity is an exciting organisation developing and championing strong students’ unions. We connect our members and curate services to deliver advice, guidance and crisis support to students’ unions. [JA1]
We do professional differently. We are a progressive charity representing students’ unions across the UK. The sector is inclusive, fun, dynamic and representative and we put students and students’ unions at the heart of everything we do. We are challenging but are committed to creating a supportive and flexible environment which pushes your personal development in your everyday activity.
What we do
Students’ unions can be transformational hubs for students, staff, and wider society. NUS Charity support our member’s development to enhance their capacity and harness opportunities to maximise their positive impact. We do this in many ways, from managing a purchasing consortium to drive great value for our members, to our development activity, supporting the best potential in students’ unions - we strive to make a difference to our members.
The student movement is fast-paced and sometimes challenging, but we’re also a big family who support each other.
We see anti-oppression as central to our mission. Education isn’t working unless it’s working for everyone in our society. We’re trans inclusive without exception. And we welcome individuals who are up for taking active responsibility for their own ongoing learning on liberation, equity, diversity and inclusion. [JA2]
What’s the job?
The Student Content Creator role is a part-time, fixed-term position within the Communications team, forming part of a six-month Student Content Creators Pilot.

As a Student Content Creator, you will work alongside the Communications team to produce short-form video content for platforms including TikTok and Instagram Reels.

You may also capture content at NUS events and contribute to content focused on NUS campaigns, students’ unions, surveys and research, discounts, partnerships, events, behind-the-scenes activity and student stories.
You will provide valuable insight into student interests, behaviours and culture, helping the Communications team understand how content and messaging can better connect with different student audiences. You will be encouraged to provide feedback on proposed content and contribute to the development of creative approaches throughout the pilot.
The role will involve working to content briefs and agreed deadlines, creating and editing content to an appropriate standard, and representing NUS professionally online.
