Apprentice Social Media Content Producer

About us
Here at Hothouse Beauty, we’re home to some of the UK’s most exciting beauty brands. Our portfolio includes St. Moriz, the award\-winning self\-tan and SPF brand loved by beauty enthusiasts and professionals alike, and Crazy Kids, our fun and colourful bathing range designed especially for little ones.

About the Role

We’re looking for a creative, social\-first Apprentice Social Media Content Producer to bring our brands to life across TikTok, Instagram and beyond, whilst studying a Level 3 Content Creator course.

This is a hands\-on role for someone who lives and breathes social, someone who knows what makes people stop scrolling, is quick to spot emerging trends and, most importantly, is excited to learn how to turn an idea into great content.

From concepting and filming to editing and publishing, you’ll create engaging, platform\-native content that builds our brands, showcases our products and connects with our audiences.

Working across our portfolio of beauty and personal care brands, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with new formats, react to emerging trends and cultural moments and help shape how our brands show up every day on social.

If you’re happiest behind a camera and occasionally in front of one, have a constant stream of content ideas and love turning products into stories people want to watch, this could be the role for you.

Previous professional experience isn’t essential. We’re looking for someone with creativity, enthusiasm and a genuine passion for social media who wants to learn, develop and build a career in content creation.

How You’ll Work:

You’ll work closely with the relevant Brand Manager for each brand, who will set the overall content and communications strategy, key messages, campaign priorities and brand guidelines.

Your role will be to help bring that strategy to life across social media through engaging, creative and platform\-native content.

While the Brand Managers will provide the strategic direction, we’ll encourage you to bring your own creativity and social\-first thinking to the role. Spotting trends, suggesting new ideas and finding fresh ways for our brands to show up on social.

You’ll be supported by the wider Marketing team as you develop your skills and confidence across content creation, filming, editing and social media.
