Content Creator - Catering & Hospitality

Love creating content that actually gets views? Got TikTok or Instagram experience and a knack for making people stop scrolling? We’re looking for a Student Content Creator to showcase our cafés, restaurants, and catering outlets across campus. From taste tests to behind-the-scenes tours, you’ll be the face and the brains behind fun, creative videos and posts that show off what’s on offer.

What You’ll Do

• Plan, film, edit, and produce short-form content for TikTok, Instagram, and other channels.

• Be comfortable on camera as well as behind it – hosting, reviewing, and presenting in a way that connects with other students.

• Work with the Catering & Hospitality team to highlight menus, special offers, seasonal events, and everyday student favourites.

• Come up with creative ideas that grow reach, boost engagement, and make our outlets stand out.

• Balance one day a week on campus filming with a remote day producing and editing content.

What We’re Looking For

• Confident, creative, and full of ideas that grab attention.

• Experience in creating engaging content on TikTok/Instagram (you’ve got the receipts to prove it – show us your work).

• Strong editing skills and the ability to turn around high-quality content quickly.

• Your own equipment (phone/camera, editing tools/software) to film and produce content.

• Reliable and organised – able to balance creativity with deadlines.

The Perks

• Paid student role (casual contract).

• Real-world content creation experience for your portfolio.

• A chance to put your personal style into a uni project that thousands of students will see.

Essential:

• Currently enrolled student at Manchester Metropolitan University.

• Confident and comfortable both in front of and behind the camera.

• Proven experience creating engaging short-form content on TikTok, Instagram, or similar platforms.

• Strong filming and editing skills, with the ability to produce professional and polished content.

• Access to own equipment (smartphone/camera and editing software).

• Creative thinker with the ability to generate new and exciting content ideas.

• Reliable, well-organised, and able to manage deadlines effectively.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage a wide student audience.

• Available to commit 10 hours per week (split into 1 day on campus for filming, 1 day remote for editing/production).

Desirable:

• Knowledge of current social media trends and how to adapt them to a university setting.

• Experience in presenting or hosting digital content (e.g., vlogs, livestreams, TikTok skits).

• Previous experience in marketing, promotion, or brand partnerships.

• An interest in food, hospitality, or lifestyle content creation.
