Short-Form Content Creator

Yorkshire Canine AcademyFull-Time | Yorkshire, UK

About Yorkshire Canine Academy

Yorkshire Canine Academy is a leading dog training organization dedicated to transforming the lives of dogs and their owners through expert training methods. We specialize in puppy training, behavioural rehabilitation, and creating educational content that reaches thousands of dog owners across the UK. Our approach is balanced, practical, and results-driven--and we need a talented content creator to help us share our message with the world.

The Role

We're looking for a creative, driven Short-Form Content Creator to join our energetic team full-time. This is not a desk job. You'll be in the thick of it--filming training sessions, capturing real moments with dogs and owners, and turning raw footage into scroll-stopping content that educates, entertains, and inspires.

You'll be responsible for the entire content creation process: from brainstorming ideas that resonate with our audience, to filming on location, to editing polished short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other platforms. You'll also repurpose our long-form content (podcasts, YouTube videos, webinars) into bite-sized clips that maximize reach and engagement.

This role is perfect for someone who lives and breathes social media, understands what makes content go viral, and isn't afraid to experiment, iterate, and move fast.

Strategy & Collaboration

Stay ahead of social media trends, platform updates, and viral content formats Analyse performance metrics and use insights to refine content strategy Work closely with trainers, marketing team, and founders to align content with business goals Contribute ideas in team meetings and brainstorming sessions
What We're Looking For

Essential

Proven experience creating short-form video content (portfolio or examples required) Strong video editing skills using tools like CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar Excellent understanding of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts--what works, what doesn't, and why Ability to film high-quality video using smartphones, cameras, or other equipment Creative mindset with a strong sense of storytelling, pacing, and visual composition Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities Self-motivated, proactive, and able to work independently as well as part of a team Passion for dogs is a huge plus (but not required--we'll teach you everything you need to know!)
Desirable

Experience in the pet, fitness, education, or lifestyle content space Knowledge of social media analytics and performance tracking Graphic design skills (Canva, Photoshop) for creating thumbnails and supporting assets Experience with audio editing for repurposing podcasts Understanding of SEO and content optimisation for discoverability
What We Offer

Competitive salary based on experience Full-time position with opportunities for growth as we scale Creative freedom to experiment, test ideas, and shape our content strategy Work with dogs (yes, really--you'll be around amazing dogs and owners every day) Energetic, supportive team that values collaboration, innovation, and results Flexible working arrangements (some remote work possible, but expect to be on location regularly) Professional development opportunities to sharpen your skills and grow your career
About You

You're the kind of person who:

Can't scroll through TikTok without analysing why a video went viral Gets excited about capturing the perfect moment on camera Thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same Loves the idea of turning raw footage into something that makes people stop, watch, and engage Wants to be part of a mission-driven team that's making a real difference in people's (and dogs') lives
