More Information
Five on a Bike are a Care Home Video Production company. Our primary focus is on creating amazing content for care homes, to help them promote their homes and their compassionate levels of care through video. So, first things first, if you don’t like the idea of creating videos in and of care homes, then we are probably not the right fit for you!
We love making care home videos, we enjoy talking with residents and learning about their lives, and we love the perks of working in care homes (i.e. being around some of the most genuinely nice people in the world and getting to eat lots of cake!) We find it really fulfilling and our passion for this has made us one of the best video production companies in the UK doing this.
We are based in Prestwood (HP16) so our team needs to be able to travel to our offices every day and to also be able to travel often to film on shoots up and down the country.
This is a really fun place to work, and this is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced creator who is looking to grow their management experience.
So, if you think we look like a good fit for you, and you fall under the right criteria, then please apply for the job. We would love to hear from you!
