• Preferred English/Cantonese fluency
• Currently not looking for podcast guests but someone to help us direct, produce, record and edit.

Background

Our careers as Olympic swimmers have taught us that looking after the mind is just as important as looking after the body. Mind The Waves exists to share that simple learning with every young person in Hong Kong. Our aim is to use the visibility that’s been generated by our sporting achievements to create a platform on to which we can invite collaborators, experts, people with stories to tell, and advice to share. And by starting these conversations, by making everything we do inclusive, social, and fun, we’ll collectively reduce the the stigma that exists within our community, families, and society, making the topic of our mental wellbeing a positive one, not a shameful one.

What we have

Branding guidelines, past video podcasts (long form and short form) footage will be provided, rundown of podcast - guests/questions.

Why this is important

Our video podcasts have been at the heart of our organisation. We are currently in urgent need of someone to lead our video podcast recording so we can continue to share community stories and mental health tips with our community. YouTube and Instagram are ideal ways of reaching and speaking directly to our Mind The Waves audience – Hong Kongers, between 15 and 30 years old. Therefore, the creation of regular, Hong Kong centric, Cantonese (majority) and English language, filmed and audio content is the cornerstone of our efforts. Our podcast aims to share conversations designed specifically to help dismantle the stigma that currently exists around people and their mental wellbeing.
