Social Media Content Creator (Reels)
Full-Time | The Nuggets Academy (TNA)
The Nuggets Academy is looking for a creative, resourceful and highly independent Social Media Content Creator to join our team.
This is a Reels-heavy, content creation role.
We’re not looking for someone whose main strength is making pretty graphics or doing complicated video edits. We want someone who can spot content opportunities, come up with strong ideas, turn them into scripts, pick up a camera and make the content happen.
You’ll work closely with our founder, teachers and team to create engaging content around education, tuition, students, teachers, parenting and life behind the scenes at TNA.
What You’ll Be Doing
🎬 Content Ideation & Reels
This will be the biggest part of your role.
Brainstorm and develop ideas for Instagram Reels and short-form video content
Keep up with social media trends, hooks, formats and content styles
Turn everyday happenings at the centre into interesting content angles
Develop content around education, tuition, parenting, teachers and student learning
Plan content with a good balance of educational, entertaining, relatable and brand-building pieces
Think beyond trends — we want content with a clear hook, story and purpose
✍🏼 Scripting & AI-Assisted Content Creation
Write hooks, scripts, interview prompts and content outlines
Use AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude comfortably for research, ideation and scripting
Know how to use AI as a creative partner rather than simply copying whatever it generates
Refine AI-generated ideas so that they sound natural and fit TNA’s voice
Repurpose good ideas into different content formats and angles
📹 Filming & Content Production
A big part of this role involves actually getting on the ground and filming.
Film teachers, students, classes, events and behind-the-scenes moments
Direct simple shoots and help the person on camera feel comfortable
Know how to frame shots, capture usable audio and get sufficient B-roll
Be proactive in spotting moments worth capturing instead of always waiting to be told what to film
Occasionally appear in or participate in content where appropriate
Organise footage properly for our in-house editor
You do not need to be a professional videographer, but you should have a good visual eye and be comfortable creating social-first content.
✂️ Basic Video Editing
We have an in-house editor for heavier edits, so advanced editing is not the focus of this position.
However, you should be comfortable with CapCut and able to:
Produce simple Reels independently
Trim and sequence clips
Add subtitles, music, text and basic transitions
Create quick-turnaround content when needed
Prepare rough cuts or clear editing directions for our editor
🎨 Basic Canva Design
Approximately 10–20% of the role may involve simple design work.
You should be comfortable using Canva for things such as:
Social media graphics
Stories
Simple posters and announcements
Reel covers
Basic marketing materials
You don’t need to be a graphic designer, but you should have a good eye for layout, consistency and detail.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
Creative — ideas don’t always need to be handed to you
Independent — you can take an idea and figure out how to execute it
Responsible — if you own something, you follow through
Resourceful — when something doesn’t go according to plan, you find another way
Meticulous — you notice the small things before content goes out
Comfortable with organised chaos — education centres move quickly and plans sometimes change
Flexible — you’re comfortable adapting your schedule when shoots, events or content opportunities come up
A keen learner — social media changes constantly and we expect you to keep learning
Comfortable working with ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools
Comfortable filming and directing people
Familiar with CapCut and Canva
Interested in education, tuition, children, parenting or learning
Familiar with Instagram, TikTok and short-form content culture
You don’t need to know everything on Day 1.
We care a lot about whether you are curious, dependable, willing to learn and able to figure things out independently.
Working Arrangement
Full-time position
This role requires some flexibility because content doesn’t always happen neatly between Monday and Friday.
Flexible working days depending on shoots, centre activities and events
Some weekend work will be required
Working schedule may vary from week to week
Total working hours will remain within approximately 40–44 hours per week
Weekend work will be balanced within the overall work schedule
This role would suit someone who prefers a dynamic environment over a very rigid 9-to-5 routine.
What Success Looks Like
We don’t want someone who waits every morning to be given a list of things to do.
A strong person in this role will gradually be able to:
Spot an idea → develop the angle → write the hook/script → plan the shoot → film it → produce a basic edit or brief our editor → get the content ready to publish.
You should eventually become someone who helps us answer:
“What should TNA be talking about this week?”
rather than waiting for us to tell you.
Application & Selection Process
Because this is a hands-on creative role, portfolio and practical ability matter more to us than qualifications alone.
Shortlisted applicants will be required to complete a trial content/editing assignment before the interview.
The assignment may involve:
Developing Reel ideas from a brief
Writing hooks or a short script
Creating a simple Reel/edit from provided footage
Demonstrating how you would approach a piece of TNA content
We’re looking at your thinking, creativity, attention to detail and execution — not just fancy editing skills.
