YouTube & Podcast Editor / Content Manager – Health & Education Brand

Budget: $800–$1,000 USD/month Ongoing freelance role | Approx. 1 long-form episode per week I’m a UK Registered Dietitian specialising in IBS and gut health, with an established online audience and education business. I’m launching a weekly YouTube channel and podcast and am looking for someone who can take ownership of the post-production and publishing process. This is not just a video editing role. I want to be able to record an episode, send you the raw footage, review the finished content and approve it — with you managing everything in between and getting the content ready to publish. What you'll be responsible for Each week, I will provide approximately one 30 minute recorded episode. You will: Edit the full YouTube episode Remove mistakes, long pauses, restarts and unnecessary sections Improve pacing while keeping the content professional and natural Clean and balance audio Basic colour correction Add simple on-screen text, graphics and B-roll where useful Maintain a clean, premium and credible visual style Create approximately 2–3 short-form clips from each episode for YouTube Shorts/Instagram Reels Create a thumbnail using an agreed brand style/template Export the audio version for the podcast Create YouTube chapters/timestamps Write/format the YouTube description and show notes Add standard links, CTAs and relevant resources Set up end screens/cards where appropriate Upload and schedule the finished video on YouTube Upload and schedule the audio episode to our podcast platform Ensure titles, descriptions, filenames and other publishing details are properly optimised Keep files and content organised I would also like someone who understands YouTube SEO and packaging and can suggest strong titles and thumbnail concepts rather than simply uploading what I give them. Monthly deliverables Approximately: 4 long-form YouTube videos 4 podcast episodes using the same content 8–12 short-form video clips 4 thumbnails Full YouTube and podcast upload/setup for each episode The style This is an expert-led health education channel, so I'm not looking for over-edited, gimmicky content with constant animations, sound effects and excessive captions. The content should feel polished, modern, engaging and authoritative while still being personable. Think high-quality educational YouTube rather than TikTok-style editing. Accuracy is particularly important because the content relates to health and nutrition. You will not be expected to write or fact-check the clinical content, but you must be careful not to alter the meaning of what I am saying during the editing process. Who I'm looking for Ideally, you: Have experience editing long-form YouTube content Understand YouTube retention and pacing Understand titles, thumbnails, chapters and YouTube SEO Have experience uploading/managing YouTube channels Can create polished short-form clips from long-form content Are comfortable working with podcast platforms Have excellent attention to detail Have strong written English Can work independently once our systems are established Are reliable with weekly deadlines Are comfortable receiving feedback and making reasonable revisions Experience working with health, medical, nutrition, education or expert-led personal brands would be a bonus. Budget $800–$1,000 USD per month, depending on experience and the final agreed scope. This is intended to be an ongoing relationship if we work well together. We will initially complete a paid editing test with shortlisted candidates before committing to the monthly arrangement. How to apply Please send: 2–3 examples of long-form YouTube videos you have personally edited. An example of a YouTube channel where you have been involved with uploading, optimisation or channel management, if available. Examples of Shorts/Reels you have created from long-form content. Tell me which parts of the YouTube publishing process you normally manage beyond video editing. Tell me which podcast platforms you have experience using. Your monthly rate for the scope described above. Your typical turnaround time for one 15–30 minute episode. Please start your application with the words “IBS YouTube” so I know you've read the full description. I'm specifically looking for someone who wants to take ownership of this process rather than someone who only wants to receive editing instructions for individual videos.
