Social Media Content Creator with Dales Central Motors

SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT CREATOR

Full Time – 40 Hours Per Week

About Us

Dales Central Motors is a family‑run automotive group with dealerships based in Scorrier and Summercourt. We’ve been serving customers across Cornwall for more than 60 years, and we currently represent a diverse and exciting range of brands including Renault, Dacia, SEAT, CUPRA, Suzuki, Vauxhall, Leapmotor and Geely.

At Dales we offer a comprehensive range of automotive services, including sales, servicing, repairs, MOTs, and parts supply.

We are now seeking a creative, confident and social media driven Content Creator to produce engaging content that showcases all aspects of the business and elevates our online presence.

Role Overview

This role is perfect for a creative and self-motivated individual who enjoys working with people and producing engaging, high-quality content that captures attention. A genuine enthusiasm for cars would also be a real advantage in this role.

You will be responsible for planning, producing and publishing content that showcases our vehicles, showrooms, workshops and parts departments, and that celebrates customer experiences and the Dales brand.

Our ideal content is just as much about the people who work at Dales as it is about the cars, and you’ll work closely with the sales, service and marketing teams to ensure our digital channels reflect everything that our business offers.

Equipment and software required to carry out this role will be provided by the company - including a personal computer, work mobile and content creation tools.

This role is primarily based at our Scorrier dealerships, although flexibility may be required to work from our Summercourt branch on occasion. Transport can be provided where travel is required within working hours.
