Our Media Managers are responsible for documenting the entire 3 week summer school from both the students and staff point of view through photography and short films. You will be taking photos and filming in classes, outdoor activities, evening events, and cultural trips. Photos need to be uploaded to Facebook albums daily and film footage will be used to compile your end‑of‑session memories video, as well as a staff lip‑sync video. ISSOS will provide a set list of photographs for specific student groups and for the campus magazine, The ISSOS Times. The main social media feeds will be managed by Head Office, but you will be managing the Stories aspect of Instagram/Facebook and TikTok.
As the Media Manager, you will be responsible for managing your own time and for ensuring all media content is edited and uploaded as soon as possible. All summer positions are fully residential, and this role offers a fantastic opportunity to engage with all aspects of the summer school and help create lasting memories for students and staff.
