The opportunity

Are you ready to bring stories to life through your exceptional filmmaking skills? At UAL, we’re on the lookout for a Videographer to join our brand-new, dynamic team. This is your chance to shape how we capture and share the creativity and impact of one of the world's leading universities for art and design. 


As part of a small, in-house team working across all UAL colleges and institutes for the first time, you’ll play a pivotal role in producing visually stunning, award-worthy content. From pre-production to the final edit, your technical expertise in camera operating, lighting and sound recording will shine as you craft films that resonate with diverse audiences. 


You’ll be responsible for planning, capturing, and editing video content that aligns with UAL’s brand and messaging. This will include: 


  • Leading shoots with a professional approach to camera operating, directing, lighting, and sound recording. 
  • Handling post-production, from editing footage, colour grading and sound mixing to collaborating on motion graphics and animation. 
  • Working with the Content Team to develop concepts and treatments that tell powerful stories.

  • Collaborative spirit: You enjoy working closely with colleagues and stakeholders to turn creative concepts into reality. 

As part of your application, we would like you to submit a portfolio of your film work.

Lighting: Reflects an ability to create mood, depth, and clarity in scenes, with a clear understanding of how to shape light to enhance visuals.

Sound: Highlights expertise in capturing clear, high-quality audio and integrating it seamlessly into the production to enhance the overall experience.


Submission Requirements:


Portfolio Content:

-    Provide a link to an online portfolio containing up to 10 clips, totalling a maximum of 15 minutes.
-    Clips can be arranged as you prefer (e.g., 10 x 90-second clips or fewer, longer clips).


Supporting Document:

As part of this, you will need to provide a supporting statement/answer some competency questions to demonstrate your suitability. Our recruitment process involves: Application, Shortlisting, Interview and Assessment, Offer, Onboarding.

We understand the benefits of using AI in work. But, if you are thinking of using it to submit an application, we ask you to think about what value it adds.
