Social Media & Content Assistant

Location: Park Royal, London (with travel to stores and shoot locations). Generally 4 days in office, Friday working from home. 

Salary: £20,000–£25,000 depending on experience

Love TikTok? Always saving trending audios? The person taking pictures of every meal before anyone eats?

We're looking for a Social Media & Content Assistant to join the Lola's marketing team and help bring our brand to life across TikTok, Instagram and beyond.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone at the beginning of their marketing career who is passionate about social media, content creation and storytelling. Whether you're a recent graduate, have built your own social channels or already have some industry experience, we're looking for someone with creativity, curiosity and a willingness to learn.

You'll work directly with our Social Media Manager, gaining hands-on experience across every part of the content creation process, from coming up with ideas and filming content to editing videos, spotting trends and supporting campaigns seen by hundreds of thousands of people.

What You'll Be Doing

No two days are the same, but your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with content shoots across our bakeries, stores, office and on location.
• Filming engaging social-first content for TikTok, Instagram Reels and other platforms.
• Editing short-form video using tools such as CapCut, Premiere Pro or similar.
• Researching trends, viral formats and social conversations to inspire new content.
• Bringing creative ideas to weekly content planning sessions.
• Helping organise shoots, including products, props and shot lists.
• Writing engaging captions and social copy.
• Supporting the scheduling and publishing of content across our social channels.
• Assisting with community management by responding to comments and messages.
• Supporting influencer gifting and content collaborations when required.
• Helping keep our content calendar organised and up to date.
• Pitching ideas and being willing to experiment with new content formats.
  

About You

We're much more interested in your creativity, attitude and potential than years of experience. However, any experience including internships is a huge bonus.

You'll be someone who is:

• Passionate about social media and digital culture.
• Naturally creative with a good eye for content, trends and storytelling.
• Highly organised and able to juggle multiple projects.
• A confident communicator who enjoys collaborating with different teams.
• Comfortable filming content and happy to occasionally appear on camera.
• Curious, proactive and always looking for new ideas.
• Adaptable and able to work in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change.
• Positive, enthusiastic and eager to learn.
  

We'd Love It If You Have

• Experience creating content for TikTok or Instagram (personal accounts absolutely count).
• Basic editing skills using CapCut, Premiere Pro or similar.
• Photography or videography skills.
• Basic graphic design experience using Canva or Adobe Creative Suite.
• An understanding of what makes great social content perform.
  

What You'll Get

• The chance to work on one of the UK's best-loved bakery brands.
• Hands-on experience creating content for a large, engaged audience.
• Direct mentoring and training from our Social Media Manager.
• Real ownership from day one - your ideas won't just sit in a notebook.
• A fun, creative and collaborative working environment.
• Opportunities to develop your skills and grow your career within the business.
