Join our growing media team ahead of the new season

Widnes Football Club is looking to grow its media team ahead of the 2024/25 Northern Premier League season.

This is an exciting opportunity for students and/or volunteers looking to gain experience in Sports Media.

Working with the club's Head of Media, the roles will involve creating engaging digital content to be used across various media channels, such as Social Media, the official club website and matchday programme.

Whether you're a budding graphic designer, videographer, photographer, journalist or commentator, we're looking to hear from you!

Candidates would be expected to attend every home and away first team match (every Saturday and the occasional midweek) as well as training sessions when required.

However, we appreciate this may not always be possible and can offer flexible arrangements for the right person.

This is an unpaid offering and while a driving licence would be preferable, travel to matches can be arranged if required.

Responsibilities may include

  • Social media updates throughout the match
  • Publish pre-match, in match and post-match visual content
  • Creating engaging content for Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok and the club's official website
  • Contribute to the matchday programme and print-based media (e.g. posters and flyers)
  • Matchday commentary if interested in doing this

Skills required

  • An enthusiastic and driven work-ethic
  • A passion for football, particularly lower-league
  • A good understanding of social media platforms
  • Strong written and communication skills
  • Positive attitude and reliable character

If interested, please email media@widnesfootballclub.co.uk. Examples of previous work and/or CVs are welcome.
