Local Young Filmmaker for Loved & Wanted Programme at Grand Junction – Freelance (Flexible, 3 days per month)

We are looking for a local freelance video creator aged 18 – 25 to become our Loved & Wanted filmmaker.

We are proud to be one of the Mayor of London’s 30 Loved & Wanted community spaces. Funding will support a programme of events and activities that bring our local community together. This includes community meals, community festivals, an informal English-language conversation session, as well as other community and arts activities.

As part of the programme we are looking for a young creative to work alongside our marketing team to film and edit content for our social media channels. You will help document and amplify the community-led cultural work at Grand Junction and celebrate the Loved & Wanted message that everyone is loved, valued and welcome at our venue.

This is a paid flexible freelance opportunity for someone at the start of their creative career who wants hands-on experience working within a community arts and heritage setting, while building their portfolio.

What we are looking for
A young freelance filmmaker who can:

• Film and edit engaging short-form video content each month that promotes the Loved & Wanted message across our diverse programme. This may include, but not be limited to, capturing event and classes footage, interviews and b-roll (approx. one filming and two editing days per month, depending on monthly project needs).
• Work collaboratively with the marketing team to plan content, including being able to receive constructive feedback, respond through making changes where needed, and deliver updated content within agreed timelines.
• Feel confident to engage with local community members, including conducting short interviews or ‘vox pops’. Support and training can be provided in this area.
• Ensure all content aligns with Grand Junction’s brand guidelines.
• Work flexibly to use the guaranteed monthly days to cover the programmed events as required.
• Be organised and able to work independently, and deliver to agreed deadlines – you will be supported by the marketing team for feedback and development opportunities.

Details
Start date: October 2026 (Ideally first filming day on Thursday 8 October, for Loved & Wanted To The Table event)
Fee: £104 per day for 3 flexible days per month (exact schedule for these days to be agreed with the Marketing Manager; days are flexible and may range from a full working day to a shorter filming or editing session, depending on requirements)
You can use your own device or equipment, and we can support access to basic filming equipment if needed.

This is a 12 month contract (with potential for extension)

Our ideal candidate will be from the area local to Grand Junction, extending to the boroughs of Westminster, Brent, Camden, and Kensington & Chelsea. But, if you are London-based, and think this could be the right role for you, we are still keen to hear from you.
