Where every property has its own story, and you’ll be the one to tell it.
About us:
Daniel Thwaites is a proudly independent hospitality company with a rich heritage, operating hotels, spas, inns, and pubs across the UK. From Lake District hideaways to vibrant city hotels, every property has its own character and our people bring them to life. We create warm, authentic experiences for our guests, and now we’re looking for someone who can help us share them with the world. If you see the world through a lens and notice the details others might walk past, you could be the storyteller we’re looking for.
The role:
As our Videographer, you won’t just film - you’ll tell.
We’re seeking a creative, technically capable videographer with a strong eye for storytelling. You’ll work across our diverse portfolio, travelling to capture the people, places, and moments that define our brand. You’ll work closely with our Social Lead within our Marketing team to produce high-quality, story-led video content that resonates across multiple channels. From social media to digital campaigns, internal communications, and brand films. Your work will play a key role in showcasing our people, places, and experiences in an authentic, engaging way.
We value the fundamentals; sharp, well-lit footage and clean sound - but equally, we value the ability to see and shape a story.
Key Responsibilities
1. Plan, shoot, and edit high-quality video content for social media, websites, campaigns, and internal platforms - understanding how and why edits should differ between channels.
2. Work with the marketing team to develop storyboards, shot lists, and creative concepts that align with brand values.
3. Travel independently to properties across the UK, adapting to each venue’s style and character.
4. Manage all aspects of production - from lighting and sound to composition and post-production.
5. Direct and support talent (chefs, spa therapists, innkeepers) so they feel confident and authentic on camera.
6. Organise and maintain video asset libraries for easy access and long-term use.
7. Deliver content in multiple formats, optimised for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and our website.
You’re Someone Who:
8. Has solid technical experience with full-frame cameras, lighting setups, and sound capture.
9. Is confident in post-production (Final Cut Pro preferred, or Premiere Pro).
10. Brings a cinematic eye to brand storytelling - your footage looks campaign-ready.
11. Can confidently work independently on location and be an integral part of a team/crew when needed.
12. Is friendly, approachable, and able to put people at ease in front of the camera.
13. Finds beauty in everyday moments and knows how to translate them into moving visuals.
14. Is open to flexible working hours when the best light or most meaningful moments are outside the 9-5.
15. Has at least 3-4 years’ experience filming and editing professional content (but if your portfolio is outstanding, we’re open to less)
What You’ll Get from Us
16. Access to high-quality equipment - no need to bring your own.
17. Regular travel to varied and inspiring locations.
