Student Content Creator
Closing Date: 05/10/2026

If you have dreams of creating content for a large brand, we have an opportunity for you!  

Apply today for a chance to join the 2026/27 University central Marketing Office’s Student Content Creator Team. 

This team will be comprised of current undergraduate and postgraduate Lancaster University students who will create content to showcase student life here including filming and editing videos, writing blogs, and photography.   

Content may be shared on the following channels (this list is not exhaustive): University social media channels, website, email communications, and third-party websites (like UCAS, The Student Room, and others).   

It’s very important to us that this team is representative of Lancaster’s diverse student community and we welcome applications from students in all years of study including those on postgraduate taught and research programmes.   

All content you produce as part of this team will be owned by Lancaster University but credited to you if and when we use it. Credit will be in the form of your name and/or social media handle.  

You must be studying at Lancaster University on our Lancaster campus in 2026/27 to be eligible for this role.   

The job 

The Marketing Office's Student Content Creators are primarily tasked with creating content for social media, writing blogs, and providing written and video testimonials. There may also be other opportunities as part of the role, such as covering events like Roses and open days on our Instagram story, featuring in film and photography projects, content writing or posting on forums. 

We will hold an initial induction meeting in first term. This will provide the opportunity for the team to meet each other and is where we’ll outline the responsibilities and expectations of the role and give guidance including best practice.  

We may also run workshops throughout the academic year with helpful tips on writing blogs and filming if this may be helpful. 

Following this, the team will receive access to a content planner that details content requests and creative briefs for each month of the year, and we also encourage students to pitch content ideas.  

There will be a dedicated Teams space for the team to collaborate and brainstorm ideas based on set themes. 

Does this sound like you? 

You love scrolling social media and watching videos and are confident in front and behind the camera, with skills in filming and editing video and a passion for social media trends. 

You love creative writing and have proven experience of writing engaging content.  

You love Lancaster University and want to share your experience with the world.
