THE JOINED / CAREERS
GOOD PEOPLE.
GOOD IDEAS.
LET'S BUILD.
The Joined is still young, which means there is a lot left to build, improve, test, rethink and occasionally break before putting it back together properly.
We're interested in people who care about creative communities, technology, culture, communication and making useful things.
01 / HOW WE THINK
SMALL TEAM.
BIG IDEAS.
NO NEED FOR THE EGO.
PRACTICAL.
CREATIVE.
The Joined is being built around collaboration, so it would be slightly ridiculous if the people behind it couldn't collaborate with one another.
We value people who can explain what they think, listen when somebody else has a better idea and care more about improving the work than protecting their own corner of it.
That does not mean everybody needs to agree. Good creative work often comes from useful disagreement.
It just works better when nobody needs to win every conversation.
02 / WHAT MATTERS HERE
SKILLS MATTER.
SO DOES HOW YOU WORK.
CURIOSITY
Ask questions. Learn new tools. Challenge assumptions. Be interested in things beyond your own job title.
OWNERSHIP
If something needs doing, help move it forward rather than waiting for somebody else to notice.
COMMUNICATION
Good ideas become much more useful when other people can understand them.
RESPECT
Creative work is collaborative. Different experience levels and disciplines deserve the same basic respect.
FLEXIBILITY
Early-stage projects change. The ability to adapt without panicking is genuinely useful.
PERSONALITY
We are not looking for identical corporate robots. Creative communities are more interesting when the people inside them are too.
03 / WHERE OPPORTUNITIES MAY APPEAR
A PLATFORM LIKE THIS NEEDS
LOTS OF DIFFERENT BRAINS.
These are areas in which opportunities could develop as the team grows — not a list of currently open vacancies.
PRODUCT & DEVELOPMENT
Web development, platform features, technical systems, testing, integrations and future product development.
COMMUNITY
Member support, moderation, community management, groups, events and helping the platform feel alive.
MARKETING & CONTENT
Social content, campaigns, editorial, partnerships, communications and telling people why The Joined exists.
CREATIVE & MEDIA
Film, photography, design, illustration, audio, editorial and the content that gives the platform its personality.
EVENTS & PARTNERSHIPS
Meetups, screenings, creative organisations, venues, education partners and real-world community activity.
SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF
Sometimes the most useful person is the one who shows us a gap we didn't know we had.
04 / EARLY-STAGE REALITY
THIS ISN'T A GIANT
CORPORATE MACHINE.
The Joined is still being built, and that matters when thinking about working with us.
Some opportunities may begin as freelance, part-time, project-based, placement or internship roles before the organisation grows into a larger permanent team.
We would rather be clear about that than pretend there is a giant HR department hiding behind the website.
We care more about what somebody can contribute than whether their previous job title sounds impressive on LinkedIn.
BUILD
SOMETHING
USEFUL.THEN MAKE IT BETTER.
05 / BASED IN BRISTOL
BUILT HERE.
CONNECTED EVERYWHERE.
Bristol is The Joined's home and an important part of the kind of company we want to build.
The city gives us access to filmmakers, artists, musicians, performers, students, digital businesses, studios and independent creative organisations.
That makes it a useful place to test ideas in the real world rather than building everything from behind a screen.
The Joined is designed for a global creative community, but Bristol remains the place we start from.
GLOBAL AMBITION
06 / STARTING OUT?
EXPERIENCE HELPS.
POTENTIAL COUNTS TOO.
The creative industries are full of people asking for experience before anybody has given you the chance to get any.
We do not want The Joined to automatically fall into the same trap.
Where a role is suitable, we want to remain open to students, graduates, career changers and people building professional experience for the first time.
Portfolios, personal projects, community work and evidence that you actually care about what you do can tell us far more than a perfectly polished CV.
HAD A FIRST
DAY.
07 / WORKING TOGETHER
THE SORT OF TEAM
WE WANT TO BUILD.
SMALL ENOUGH TO TALK.
People should be able to reach the person making the decision.
BRAVE ENOUGH TO TRY.
Good ideas sometimes need testing before anybody knows whether they work.
HUMBLE ENOUGH TO CHANGE.
Being wrong occasionally is considerably cheaper than refusing to admit it.
HUMAN ENOUGH TO ENJOY IT.
Work is still work. It doesn't have to be miserable.
08 / INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH US?
SAY HELLO.
If you're interested in a vacancy, freelance work, an internship, a placement or simply think you could contribute something useful, tell us about yourself.
If there's no suitable opening right now, that doesn't mean there won't be one later.
