Contract Type: Freelance, long-term (approx. 12+ months)

Day Rate: Starting at £150/day for approximately 25+ days throughout the contract, pending further funding which may allow for a rate increase. We are open to discussing specific requirements.

Expenses: Travel, accommodation, and per diems (PDs) are covered for work outside of London.

Working Pattern: Hybrid (Around 50% remote for planning/editing, 50% on-location at London rehearsals, gigs and UK festivals)

Start Date: Onboarding mid-June 2026, ready to start shooting content in mid-July 2026

We are looking for a charismatic, passionate and active Content Creator who is trans+ or gender non-conforming and a POC (Person of Colour) to join the core team of GOB: Shlomo and the ‘Goddexes of Beatbox’ Orchestra.

Your role is to capture the spirit, journey and behind-the-scenes magic of our project. You will co-design a plan, capture, edit and publish regular content documenting the GOB project across platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

You must be already active as a creator and digital storyteller who is comfortable on and off camera, ready to spread queer and disability joy as an antidote to online toxicity.

Your Responsibilities

You will take charge of the content creation process from start to finish. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Co-designing the Strategy: Working with the project team to research and design a content plan, choosing the right formats, styles, platforms and posting schedules.

• Capturing the Journey: Attending rehearsals, workshops and festival performances to capture raw, authentic behind-the-scenes content, photos, footage and music jam sessions.

• Being the Face of the Journey: Acting as a charismatic on-camera host and creator, telling your own story as you bring audiences along for the ride of documenting the project.

• Editing, Publishing and Evaluating: Setting up new social media channels for GOB; editing short-form videos, photos and stories; managing regular content publication; evaluating and iterating based on what resonates.

• Educational Storytelling: Creating engaging narratives that normalise the trans+ journey and loudly celebrate disability joy. This is not a sales or direct marketing role, it’s about sharing accessible and uplifting content rather than focusing on commercial metrics.

What Success Looks Like

Consistency: Establishing and delivering a clear content plan and responsive, adaptable posting schedule.

Joyful Documentation: A regular output of high-quality, uplifting and accessibly formatted content that authentically captures and celebrates the journey of the project.

Accessible Education: Creating content that helps normalise the trans+ experience and neurodivergence in an accessible way.

Community Over Commercial Metrics: Building a growing organic audience and a recognisable identity for the project, with impact on ticket sales or streaming numbers treated as secondary.

What We Are Looking For

We value lived experience, portfolio, and creative passion over formal CVs.

Eligibility & Positive Action:

This role is specifically for someone who identifies as trans+, non-binary or otherwise gender non-conforming,to ensure the safety and authentic shared experience of our trans+/gender marginalised team. The GOB performers are majority POC (People of Colour), and under the Positive Action framework of the Equality Act 2010, we are actively prioritising applications from candidates who are People of Colour (POC / Global Majority).

Skills & Ways of Working:

• Active Creator: You are already actively making and publishing content (for yourself and/or others) and understand the current landscapes of TikTok and Instagram.

• Comfortable on Camera: You are not timid; you are happy to jump into the action, speak directly to the camera, and fool around getting up-close and personal with the ensemble.

• Ethical Storyteller: You understand how to tell joyful and educational stories that empower marginalised communities without relying on tragedy narratives.

• Self-Directed: You are organised and able to manage your own planning, capturing, editing and publishing workflow remotely.

• Agile: You are comfortable moving between quiet, focused theatre environments and loud, grassroots festival spaces.

Practicalities & Access

Location: You must be UK based, able to travel to London for rehearsals and gig days, as well as to specific festival locations across the UK.

Key Dates: You must be available to document key moments and gig dates across the year, including Brighton Trans Pride (18 July 2026) and Greenbelt Festival (29 August 2026), with onboarding taking place from mid-June. You’ll need flexible availability for a series of gigs planned to run from Sep 2026 to May 2027 with dates and locations TBC.

Access: Accessibility is not an add-on for us; it is our foundation. Access needs will never disadvantage your application, and we have resources available for access support if needed to help you bring your best to the project.
