What does this job involve?
Our Media Managers are responsible for documenting the entire 3 week summer school from both the students and staff point of view through photography and some short films.
You will be taking photos and film footage in classes, at outdoor activities, evening events and on cultural trips and activities. Photos will need to be uploaded to Facebook albums on a daily basis and film footage will be used to compile your end of session memories video, as well as a staff lip sync video.
ISSOS will also provide a set list of photographs that will be needed of specific student groups and for the campus magazine, The ISSOS Times. The main social media feeds will be managed by Head Office but you will be managing the Stories aspect of Instagram/Facebook and TikTok.
As the Media Manager, you will be responsible for managing your own time and for making sure all media content is edited and uploaded as soon as possible. All of our summer positions are fully residential and this position is a fantastic opportunity to get involved with all aspects of the summer school and truly help to make memories for our students and staff teams.
