About The Sleep Project The Sleep Project is creating a podcast intentionally designed to help people wind down, get off their screens and ultimately go to sleep.
Our mission is to challenge the mainstream attention economy by creating content people genuinely want to engage with — while ultimately encouraging them to switch off.
We’re a small team building something current, so you’ll have the opportunity to get involved early, bring your own ideas and have real input into shaping our social content.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Junior Social Media Executive to help bring The Sleep Project to life across social media.
This is a hands-on, creative role covering content ideation, filming, editing and posting.

What You’ll Be Doing
- Coming up with short-form social concepts and content formats

- Comfortable using Canva to create simple social content and assets
- Comfortable filming content on an iPhone
- A creative, social-first mindset with a good instinct for what makes content work
- Enthusiasm, ideas and a willingness to get stuck in
No prior professional experience is required. We care more about your creative instinct, enthusiasm and the work you can show us than a long CV.
