Job description

Pocket Sergeant is a leading subscription-based app used by police officers and legal professionals across England and Wales. Built by a former frontline police officer, the platform has grown to over 21,500 subscribers and is now entering its next phase of growth.

We are investing heavily in content, video, and podcasts to grow the brand, reach new audiences, and build long-term trust and authority. This role is central to that mission.

The Role

The candidate must be based in the north east of England. It is a hands‑on, senior content role with full ownership of Pocket Sergeant’s content output across podcasts, video, YouTube, and social media.

You will plan, create, film, edit, publish, and grow content end to end. This is not a scheduling role. You will be expected to take responsibility for results.

Social Media Ownership

• Take full ownership of Pocket Sergeant’s social media platforms
• Grow TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and other relevant platforms
• Repurpose long‑form content into high‑performing short‑form clips
• Optimise content for each platform’s algorithm
• Manage posting schedules, captions, thumbnails, and titles
• Create and own content plans aligned with business goals
• Identify content trends and opportunities relevant to policing, law, and public interest
• Use analytics to refine content and improve performance
• Work closely with the founder to shape messaging, tone, and storytelling

Non‑Negotiable Requirement: Proven Growth Experience

Applicants must provide clear proof of having grown social media platforms.

This must include:

• Platforms worked on (TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
• Your role in the growth
• Timeframes
• Examples of high‑performing content
• Applications without evidence of growth will not be considered.

Personal channels are acceptable if you can show results.

• Confident with podcast recording and audio editing
• Strong understanding of TikTok, YouTube (including Shorts), and social algorithms
• Ability to work independently and take ownership
• Comfortable attending events and filming in live environments
• Experience growing YouTube channels
• Experience with podcast production
• Understanding of analytics and performance tracking
• Interest in policing, law, or public‑interest content
