School Overview

Located on the waterfront in North Vancouver, Bodwell High School is a university-preparatory independent day and boarding school for students in Grades 8-12. For more than 35 years, Bodwell has welcomed students from Canada and around the world into a vibrant, multicultural learning community.

Bodwell’s Media Team supports student recruitment, family engagement, school storytelling, reputation-building, and brand visibility across digital, print, video, social media, and internal communication channels. The team works closely with recruiters, school leadership, students, alumni, parents, and staff to share the stories of Bodwell’s diverse community.

We are seeking a permanent, full-time Digital Content & Media Creator to join our Media Team. This role is ideal for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, creative, digitally fluent, and comfortable helping move content from idea to publication.

About the Role

This is a practical, execution-focused role. Initial priorities include social media scheduling, media asset organization, video upload support, captions, thumbnails, Agent Portal updates, and media rollout packages. Over time, the role may grow into more short-form content creation, newsletter support, web/news formatting, reporting, and external editor coordination.

• Help ensure completed media is uploaded, organized, announced, and easy to find.
• Prepare media rollout updates and recruiter-ready content packages with approved links, suggested captions, thumbnails, descriptions, calls to action, and usage notes.
• Prepare and publish blog posts, news items, webpage updates, event recaps, and other web content as assigned.
• Apply basic SEO formatting, including headings, links, alt text, metadata, image naming, and clean page structure.
• Assist with newsletter layout, image preparation, link checking, mailing lists, and basic performance tracking.
• Assist the Visual Media Lead with importing, organizing, naming, and preparing photo and video assets.
• Support editing workflows, including subtitles, captions, thumbnails, simple video edits, file exports, B-roll organization, Canto collections, and digital signage updates.
• Help maintain an organized Agent Portal or Partner Hub with current brochures, videos, photos, templates, forms, links, FAQs, calendars, recruitment materials, and campaign assets.
• Assist with content related to Academies, boarding life, university preparation, student outcomes, Vancouver/North Vancouver, local pathways, and other recruitment themes.
• Support project tracking, content calendars, media requests, campaign preparation, approved templates, file naming, folder organization, brand standards, school events, student media contributors, and small external editing projects as needed.
