About Us:
We are a non-partisan YouTube channel producing professional videos on news, economics, and current events, with a particular focus on the UK and the US. Our content is built around clear, evidence-led explainers that make complex issues easy to understand. We don’t push political agendas — our goal is to inform and engage viewers with accuracy and balance.
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. You’ll be working with a teleprompter, so your main focus will be delivering the content with clarity, energy, and professionalism — making complex topics easy for viewers to understand.
This is an ongoing freelance role, typically one full-day shoot per week (10:30 AM – 5:30 PM) at our Manchester studio. As the channel grows, there may be opportunities for more frequent shoots and increased involvement in the production process.
Responsibilities:
Present news-style and explainer scripts on camera using a teleprompter.
Deliver content in a clear, engaging, and professional tone.
Work with our production team to ensure smooth filming days.
Be flexible with last-minute script updates based on breaking news.
Requirements:
Strong on-camera presence and confidence.
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).
Pay: £250 per shoot, paid within 7 days.
Location: Central Manchester studio.
