Videographer (Graduate/Trainee)

Ernest Gordon Recruitment is hiring a Videographer (Graduate/Trainee) based in Paignton, Devon, with national travel across the UK. This is a content creation and digital marketing role producing video and branded media for motorsport teams competing in the British Touring Car Championship, sitting within the agency’s social media and content production output. It suits a media or film graduate with some hands-on videography experience who wants to build a professional reel in a specialist sector rather than general commercial work.

About the Role

You’ll be working inside a digital marketing agency that focuses exclusively on motorsport content creation, handling video production and branding for racing teams at BTCC events around the country. A typical week splits between in-house production work at the Paignton base and travel to racecourses for live event coverage, with paid accommodation provided for stays away. Full training is structured into the role, so this is a genuine entry point into professional video production rather than a role expecting a finished operator.

Key Responsibilities

• Shooting and editing video content for motorsport brands, covering both race-day coverage and promotional material for social media distribution.
• Travelling to British Touring Car Championship racecourses across the UK to capture live event footage under real production conditions.
• Developing branded visual content for motorsport teams, working within their existing brand guidelines and campaign requirements.
• Supporting the agency’s social media content pipeline with short-form and long-form video assets cut for multiple platforms.
• Managing your own footage from capture through to delivery, handling logging, editing, and final output across each project.
• Growing into a fully independent videographer through structured on-the-job training and mentorship within the agency.

What You Bring

• A degree in Media, Film, Television, or a closely related subject.
• Practical experience in videography and content creation, whether from university projects, freelance work, or short-form production.
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationally for event-based video production.
• Commutable distance to Paignton for regular base work between events.
• Familiarity with video editing software used in professional content production workflows.

Why This Role

Ernest Gordon Recruitment is placing this role for an agency with a clear niche, which means your work goes directly to motorsport teams rather than getting lost inside a generalist production house. The salary range is £25,000 to £30,000, with pension, paid stays away for events, and access to BTCC venues that most junior content producers simply cannot get near. For a graduate videographer looking to specialise early, this is a more direct route into sports and live event video production than most entry-level content roles offer.
