Content Creator

Content Creator

Trade Outlet | HQ: Ellesmere Port

Starting salary: £30,000–£40,000 per year, depending on experience

Based at our HQ, with regular travel across our eleven unique stores, our impressive HQ & distribution centre, and three exciting auction sites!

An unexpected find... a brilliant bargain... the energy of an auction... the people making it all happen behind the scenes.... At Trade Outlet, there’s no shortage of things worth showing the world. We’re looking for a creative, confident and hands-on Content Creator who can spot those opportunities and turn them into content people stop scrolling for.

This is a role for someone who is just as comfortable in front of the camera as behind it. Someone who can come up with an idea, pick up a camera, bring people into the story and turn the footage into something worth watching.

You won’t be stuck at a desk trying to make the same product interesting every day. You’ll be out across our business, discovering fresh stories, showcasing great finds and helping more people discover Trade Outlet.

The role

You’ll help bring our brand to life through engaging video, photography and social media content. From product highlights and behind-the-scenes features to auction previews and store visits, you’ll create content that entertains, builds interest and gives people a reason to shop with us.

Your work will have a clear purpose: grow our audience, bring more people through our doors and turn attention into action.

You’ll be responsible for:

Taking content from idea to publication. Plan, film, edit and publish engaging content, with strong opening hooks, sharp captions and a clear sense of what makes people watch.

Being a regular face and voice for Trade Outlet. Present confidently on camera, demonstrate products and help colleagues feel comfortable getting involved.

Finding the stories across our sites. Travel between locations to capture new arrivals, standout bargains, auctions, store activity and the people behind the business.

Keeping our content fresh and effective. Build a consistent content schedule, make room for spontaneous opportunities and use audience feedback and performance results to improve what we create.

Who we’re looking for

You don’t need to have followed a particular career path. You do need to show us that you can create compelling content and that you have the initiative to make things happen.

We’re looking for someone with:

A portfolio with personality. Examples of video or social content you’ve created for a business, a brand or your own channels, showing your filming, editing and storytelling skills.

Confidence on both sides of the camera. You can present naturally, explain things clearly and bring enthusiasm without sounding scripted or forced.

Creative ideas and practical follow-through. You’re organised, proactive and comfortable managing the whole process, rather than waiting for someone to hand you a detailed brief.

An understanding of what makes content work. You know how to adapt an idea for different social platforms and balance entertainment with a commercial goal.

You must also be able to travel regularly across our sites. This is a hands-on, on-site role: the best content will often come from being there when something interesting happens.

Experience in retail, e-commerce, auctions or product-led content would be useful, but great ideas, strong work and the right approach matter more than a particular background.

Why join Trade Outlet?

Make a visible difference. This is an opportunity to create work that genuinely influences how people discover, experience and shop with our business.

Enjoy real variety. Different products, different locations, different people and a constant supply of new content opportunities.

Bring your ideas to life. We’re hiring you for your creativity, not simply to point a camera where you’re told. We want someone who will suggest new formats, spot opportunities and help shape our content.

Build a portfolio you’re proud of. Develop your work across presenting, filming, editing, storytelling and commercial content, with a starting salary of £30,000–£40,000 depending on experience.

Show us what you can do

Send us your CV, a short introduction and links to content you’ve created. Tell us what you contributed to each example, particularly where it was a team project.

Have an idea for the first video you’d make at Trade Outlet? We’d love to hear it! A few sentences is plenty.

If you're great at finding and showcasing an engaging story, come and help us tell ours.
