Freelance Content Creator, TikTok and Short Form Video - Club Dodo - Chelmsford

6 hours ago•2 views

DODO is a content agency. We are recruiting a freelance content creator to run short form video for one of our clients, a UK consumer brand in the sleep and wellness space.
You will be the face and the voice of the channel. You will also film it, edit it and deliver it. This is a full stack creator role: on camera, behind the camera, and in the edit. You will be the main face of the channel, though not necessarily the only creator on it. Depending on the campaign we may run others alongside you. You are the anchor.
What you will be doing
Presenting on camera as the primary face of the channel
Filming on-site one day a week
Cutting, editing, captioning and packaging everything yourself
Delivering finished content in batches every two weeks
Covering a range of up to 40 products
Researching current trends and formats, and writing a substantial share of the scripts
One 30 minute planning call each week
A weekly shoot day banks enough footage for the fortnightly delivery. The work is built around smart repurposing, which is what makes the volumes below very achievable for the right person.
Volume and fee
Two packages. Which one applies is confirmed with you before you start, and you will not be moved between them mid-contract without agreement.
Package A, £1,500 per month:
60 short form videos (vertical, 10 to 60 seconds, for TikTok, Reels and Shorts)
6 long form videos (3 to 10 minutes, educational or promotional)
10 product demonstration videos
Around 50% of scripts researched and written by you
Package B, £2,200 per month:
100 short form videos
8 to 10 long form videos
16 product demonstration videos
80 story clips (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok)
2 to 4 live streaming sessions, beginning after full product training
Around 70% of scripts researched and written by you
Payment
Monthly invoicing, paid 30 days from invoice. Terms agreed at contract stage.
Where this goes
If the channel delivers a return there is a real route to this becoming a full time role. We would rather grow someone into that than replace them a year in.
What we are looking for
We will be assessing your skills and your track record, so show us both.
Demonstrable experience in video or short form content production. This is the first thing we look at, and ideally you are already working in this space.
Confident and watchable on camera
Strong vertical video editing in CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci or equivalent
A native understanding of TikTok: hooks, pacing, sounds, trends, watch time
Able to turn one shoot day into fifteen or more usable pieces without the output feeling repetitive
Organised enough to hit a delivery schedule without being chased
Your own kit: a camera or phone shooting 4K, lighting and a decent microphone
UK based and able to travel to weekly shoot days
Helpful but not essential: experience in health, wellness or sleep categories, familiarity with ASA and CAP advertising rules, live streaming experience.
One thing to know
The products sit in a regulated health category, so advertising rules are stricter than for a general consumer brand. All claims are approved in writing by us before anything is published. You do not need prior experience of regulated categories, but you do need to check rather than guess.
Contract
Self employed, not employment. You invoice us and handle your own tax and National Insurance. Non exclusive. No set hours beyond the weekly shoot day and the planning call. Four week paid pilot against agreed deliverables, then rolling monthly with two weeks notice either way. All content and IP assigns to DODO on payment. Channel and ad accounts are owned by DODO, you get admin access for the duration. Products are loaned for filming and returned at the end.
How to apply
Send us:
Your portfolio, TikTok or Instagram. We want vertical video you have made and appeared in, not a showreel of somebody else's edits.
A short note on your video and short form production experience.
Which package you could handle, and whether you could step up to Package B.
Your availability for weekly shoot days.
Roughly how long one short form video takes you, end to end.
