Horticultural Content Creator

Horticultural Content Creator (up to £34,000)

12 month fixed term contract

At Immediate, we’re home to some of the biggest and most loved consumer brands in the UK, including Radio Times, Good Food, Gardeners’ World and History Extra. Our trusted, quality content reaches millions of people a month across digital, print, video, podcasts, apps and live events.

We’re the destination for people looking to get more from the things they love. We help inspire them; deepening their knowledge, skills and fuelling their passions, to enjoy more of what life has to offer.

Whether it’s the big things, or the little things; from reaching fitness goals to savouring good food, cultivating outdoor, or indoor, spaces, or enjoying the latest TV sensation with loved ones – we help bring our audiences joy.

As a Horticultural Content Creator, you will be a dedicated, skilled gardener who is also a confident creator across both the written word and video — someone who can produce two to three written pieces a week and appear on camera, moving fluently between a magazine feature, a web guide and a You Tube script without sacrificing accuracy, depth or craft.

Above all, it's a role for someone for whom gardening is a genuine vocation: not a subject they cover, but something they do. That kind of expertise comes only from years of hands‑on experience — and it's what makes every piece, written or filmed, worth the audience's time.

We expect a strong understanding and curiosity about AI's role in the future of publishing and the opportunities it offers businesses and audiences alike. AI is still evolving — you won't have all the answers, but an open mind and enthusiasm for the possible are a must. Immediate believes in applying AI responsibly and impactfully to enhance our content and products, and is committed to upskilling all staff to futureproof both the business and our people's careers.

• Represent the Gardeners' World voice consistently across all output, in line with editorial guidelines and brand values.

• Horticultural training to Level 3 or equivalent (e.g. RHS Level 3, a relevant degree or demonstrably equivalent practical qualification).

• A natural editorial thinker who understands the difference between a magazine feature, a web guide and a social caption, and adapts voice accordingly.
