We are looking for a reliable, confident, and engaging on-camera presenter to be the face of our YouTube channel. This role involves presenting news-style and explainer videos on UK and US current affairs, economics, and politics.

Excellent verbal communication skills. Reliable and punctual — consistency is essential. Previous presenting, acting, journalism, or broadcast experience preferred. Interest in current affairs, politics, and economics is a bonus. Details: One shoot per week (usually mid-week). Each shoot lasts a full day (approx. 10:30 AM – 5:30 PM).
