Volunteer Opportunity: Graphic/Motion Designers & Short Form Video Editors

Organisation: Baguley Athletic Football Club

Location: Wythenshawe, South Manchester (Hybrid / Remote). Preference will be given to those local to Manchester

Commitment: Flexible (approx. 3–5 hours per week)

Baguley Athletic FC is a rapidly growing, community-driven grassroots football club based in Wythenshawe, South Manchester. Operating across Men’s, Women’s, Youth, and early-years pathways, we are building a modern, ambitious club structure both on and off the pitch.

As we expand our digital footprint across Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn, we are looking for creative, reliable Graphic/Motion Designers and Short Form Video Editors to join our volunteer Digital, Creative and Media Team.

You will help shape the visual identity of Baguley Athletic FC across our digital channels, turning club updates and matchday moments into bold, scroll-stopping visuals.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design static and animated matchday graphics (fixtures, starting line-ups, full-time scores, player of the match, and goal alerts).
• Create promotional assets for club initiatives, community events, sponsorship announcements, and recruitment drives.
• Develop reusable templates (in Canva, Photoshop, or Illustrator) to help streamline the media team's weekly workflow.
• Incorporate subtle motion graphics and kinetic typography (After Effects, Premiere, or CapCut) to elevate key announcements.
• Ensure all visual output stays consistent with the club’s brand guidelines, colours, and tone of voice.
  

You will bring the energy, passion, and personality of grassroots football to life through fast-paced, engaging vertical video content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Key Responsibilities:

• Edit raw matchday footage, training clips, and behind-the-scenes content into dynamic 15–60 second vertical videos.
• Produce highlight reels, goal compilations, player features, and trend-driven social clips.
• Add crisp captions, sound design, music syncing, and smooth transitions tailored to platform algorithms.
• Collaborate with our matchday content capture team to turn footage around quickly for post-match engagement.
• Stay on top of current football and social media trends to pitch fresh content ideas for our Men's, Women's, and Youth squads.
  

• Creative & Self-Motivated: You have an eye for detail, pacing, and visual storytelling.
• Tool-Savvy: Working knowledge of relevant software (e.g., Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar).
• Reliable Communicator: Comfortable collaborating remotely with a wider volunteer media team and hitting agreed turnaround times.
• Passionate About Sport or Content: An interest in football, grassroots community sport, or digital media is a big plus—though formal experience isn't required if you have a strong eye and willingness to learn.
  

• Real-World Portfolio Material: Build a live body of work with full creative credit across active, growing social channels.
• Flexible Remote Working: Most editing and design work can be done from home around your studies or day job, with an open invitation to join us at Ericstan Park on matchdays.
• Hands-On Experience: Work inside a structured, supportive club media department alongside fellow designers, editors, and content creators.
• References & Networking: Receive a formal reference from the club’s leadership team and connect with professionals across grassroots sport and digital media.
  

We keep things simple and practical—no long cover letters required. Send us a message via LinkedIn or email [email protected] with:

1. Which role(s) you’re interested in (Graphic/Motion Designer, Short Form Video Editor, or both).
2. A link to your portfolio, showreel, or 2–3 examples of your work (personal projects or university work are completely welcome).
3. A quick note on your weekly availability.

Baguley Athletic FC is committed to inclusivity and welcomes applications from creatives of all backgrounds.
