Job Summary
Job Description
We need a person or team to help us make an impact and legacy video. The film will show our reach and the difference our work has made over the past 15 years, and will inspire people to reach out to us to collaborate, invest in and partner with Upswing.
But we are not looking for a corporate promo.
Instead of the usual charity impact film, we want you to help shape something bold and unexpected, with the same ambition as any show we'd make. We need someone confident enough to help develop the creative brief, bring together our existing footage, capture interviews and find a genuinely creative way to share our impact.
The film will form part of our artistic portfolio and hold its own as a creative project, distinct from anything else we've produced, ambitious and maybe a little unexpected, in keeping with everything else we make.
Before applying, be sure to read the full project brief PDF.
BUDGET:
The film will need to be completed for under £6,500 (this to include all fees and expenses)
DELIVERABLES:
- Full video: approximately 3 minutes 30 seconds (with and without subtitles)
- Social trailer: 30 seconds (portrait format)
- 3 short reels: 15-20 seconds each (highlighting different story aspects)
- Lower thirds for all speakers, titles throughout, closing credits sequence and partner logos at close
TIMELINE:
Shoot dates to be confirmed with successful producer.
Deadline to apply: 5pm, Thursday 27 August
Conversations with successful applicants: Between 2-9 September
Film to be completed & published: February 2027
We are based in Stoke-on-Trent with strong links and many of our team in London. It will be a plus if you are based in either of these areas.
Job Requirements
A track record producing and/or directing documentary-style or interview-led film, ideally within the arts, culture or charity sector.
A knack for putting people at ease on camera, particularly people who don't perform for a living.
Experience working across formats and quality of source material without it feeling like a compromise.
Sensitivity to the communities and settings we work in, including health and care settings.
Comfortable collaborating closely with a small in-house team, and open to sharing your own ideas on structure and style rather than simply executing a brief.
Alignment with our company purpose and what we stand for

Please send us your take on the brief. Rather than a standard CV submission, we'd like:
- A short pitch: one initial idea for how you could approach the film, its structure and style, and how you'd bring the brief to life. You can send this in a way that suits you - voice note/video (max 2 minutes) PDF with reference images (max 3 pages) or plain text (max 1 page).
- A simple initial breakdown of costs, including your project fee and an indicative cost for the crew and days involved.
- Examples of relevant previous work (links to films, your website, CV, Instagram or Linkedin – anywhere that shows your work the best but make it easy to find!).
Send all of this to [email protected] with LEGACY VIDEO PRODUCER as the subject line.
Your pitch remains your own IP.
