Social Media Manager & Reels Editor — Farm School (Long-Term)

We're The Rose Garden — a small farm school and community space in the hills of Northern California. Real farm, real animals, real children, and real learning. We run a preschool, a microschool, mother-and-child sessions, farm stays and community events. Our audience is Muslim families, homeschool mothers, and people looking for a gentler, more rooted kind of education. Our Instagram is @therosegarden1. Please look at it before you apply. We are looking for one person to become the steady hand behind all of our social media, long term, ideally for years, not for one project. WHAT YOU'D DO - Turn the raw clips and photos we send you (farm days, classroom moments, events, interviews) into finished Reels: hooks, captions, pacing, on-screen text, music - Build and run a monthly content calendar tied to what actually matters to us, enrollment periods, events, seasons, the school year - Publish and repurpose across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook and Threads - Manage comments and general DMs in a warm, welcoming voice (we handle anything about enrollment ourselves) - Send us a short monthly report: what worked, what didn't, what you want to try next - Later on, help with our email newsletter (MailerLite) WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR - You can edit a Reel that holds attention in the first second — and you can point us to ones you've made - You've worked with a brand that has a soul: education, family, faith, wellness, non-profit, community. Not dropshipping. Not crypto. - Cultural sensitivity matters enormously here — this is a faith community and the tone has to be right. - You're organized enough that we don't have to chase you - You write good English (you'll be writing captions and replying to our community) - 15 hours a week, consistent, with some overlap with US Pacific time WHAT WE'LL GIVE YOU - A written brand and vision brief so you're never guessing what we want - A steady stream of raw footage from a genuinely beautiful place - A 30-minute call every week - Real creative freedom once we trust each other - Long-term, stable work with people who will treat you well HOW TO APPLY We read every proposal properly, so please skip the template. Instead: 1. Start your proposal with the word ROSE so we know you read this. 2. Send us 2-3 Reels YOU edited that you're proud of. Direct links. Tell us in one line what you were going for in each. 3. Look at @therosegarden1 and tell us ONE thing you would change in our first 30 days, and why. 4. Tell us what other faith-based, education, or family brands you've worked on. 5. Your hourly rate and how many hours a week you can genuinely commit. We start with a small test project before any ongoing contract.
