Content Editor

At Guide Dogs, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with sight loss to live the life they choose. We are seeking a talented Content Editor to bring our work to life through exceptional copywriting, editing, and content creation, with a strong focus on case studies. In this role, you will craft and manage a diverse library of compelling case studies that showcase the impact of our services and celebrate the inspiring stories of our service users, volunteers, and staff.

As a Content Editor, you will collaborate across Guide Dogs to identify case study needs and priorities, identify new stories and establish a streamlined workflow for creating and uploading content that complies with GDPR standards. Your expertise will shine as you produce best-in-class, multi-purpose case studies that combine engaging narratives, striking photography, and video elements when appropriate.

You will ensure that all case study content is not only on-brand and of the highest quality but also accessible and aligned with our ‘digital first’ principle. By equipping teams with the tools to tell a ‘broader than dogs’ story, you will help elevate our brand and attract new supporters, service users, and volunteers.

In addition, you will serve as the gatekeeper for case study access, maintaining an organised process for updating and managing content usage. Working alongside our Creative Services team, you will contribute to the development of our media library and promote effective storage and sharing practices for our case studies.

Your role will also involve copyediting and proofreading materials, offering guidance on creating engaging and accessible content that adheres to our brand tone of voice. You will oversee photography and video shoots, crafting case study assets that inspire action and can be reused across multiple channels.

Managing relationships with external suppliers will be crucial to ensuring we achieve the best value for our investments. Additionally, you will collaborate with content editors on the web team to create on-brand content for our website, ensuring consistency in messaging and tone.
