Flamingo Chicks is a charity offering inclusive classes for disabled children. We would love videos of our dancers for social media to highlight our amazing work, to our community, parents/carers & grant providers.

What will you be doing?

We’re looking for the skills of an experienced videographer with access to the necessary videography equipment. Videographers will visit classes, children's hospices and events to shoot videos of our classes. In turn these videos will be used for social media, as evidence to grant providers, to share joy with our children and families by capturing the beautiful moments in our dance lessons.

You'll be fully briefed by Flamingo Chicks about what to record, but it would usually focus on the children in action, the joy, magic and sparkle of our classes which are full of movement, sensory props, colours, costumes and smiles!

Working alongside our Flamingo Chicks' teachers and the setting you'll ensure to only film children with the necessary photo/video consent. Videos will need to be handled carefully in line with data protection, edited, returned to Flamingo Chicks and then deleted from all devices/computers.

Hours will be ad-hoc and as and when a need arises, but probably visiting one setting per month. 

You’ll be assisting our super small Operations team, our Flamingo Chicks Teachers and our volunteers, and by helping a great cause we hope it will be a very rewarding role.

What are we looking for?

  • Previous videography experience
  • Access to professional videography equipment
  • A willingness to help others
  • Good communication skills, including the ability to communicate with people from a variety of backgrounds
  • A team player
  • Positive attitude
  • Passion for caring for people with disabilities

What difference will you make?

We now support over 7,500 children per year and over 45,000 children have danced with us since Flamingo Chicks started over 10 years ago. Our online classes have been received with phenomenal interest and 20,000+ views since they were launched. We've had the most uplifting feedback and know our classes are a lifeline to many. 

We're working super hard to spread the message and reach even more people, so videography support which brings our work to life is more important than ever. 

Your expert skills will be invaluable to maximise the numbers of people who are seeing our work, which in turn will benefit disabled children and their families throughout the UK.

We'd love to recruit for this role as soon as possible. Please get in touch, it would mean a lot if you can help!
