**Job description**:
The Department for Transport (DfT) is looking for a creative, social-first content creator to join our Digital Communications team. You’ll play a key role in developing compelling video and photography to support our social media strategy and bring government communications to life.

You should be equally comfortable shooting with professional equipment or editing on a mobile device—adapting to fast-paced situations with a flexible, solution-focused mindset.

Frequent UK travel, with possible overnight stays, is required to support production on ministerial visits and events, so adaptability is essential.
