There’s no shortage of stories at Spice Kitchen. From Mamma Spice’s kitchen wisdom to recipes, retailer visits and the many things happening behind the scenes, we’re looking for someone who can help us share them.
We’re hiring a freelance social content creator and strategist to manage our social media from November 2026, joining us for our busiest gifting season.
A little about Spice Kitchen
Spice Kitchen began in 2012, when mother-and-son team Shashi and Sanjay Aggarwal started a business with Shashi’s knowledge of spices, her sari gift wraps and a 100-year-old grinder in Walsall.
Today, we’re based in Speke, Liverpool, creating spice blends, spice gift tins and feasting kits for people who love cooking, sharing food and finding thoughtful gifts. You’ll find us online, in independent shops and through retailers, Amazon and QVC. You might also have spotted Sanjay and Shashi on Dragons’ Den in August 2026!
Family, food and the stories behind our products remain at the heart of everything we do.
About the role
You’ll take the day-to-day lead on our social channels, with Instagram as the main focus, adapting content for TikTok and posting across Facebook and LinkedIn.
Working with Sanjay and our wider team, you’ll plan the content calendar, create short-form videos and balance recipes, product launches, gifting campaigns and everyday moments from the business.
There’s plenty to work with: an archive of around 800 photos and videos dating back to 2014, regular opportunities to film, and two founders with stories to tell. Some of our best-performing content has been the simplest — Sanjay talking directly to camera, sharing something he cares about.
You’ll also help develop collaborations and creator content, and report monthly on performance.
Who we’re looking for
We’d love to hear from someone with experience creating social content for consumer brands, ideally in food and drink. Strong video editing skills, good organisation and an instinct for warm, honest storytelling are essential.
You’ll need to be based in Liverpool, Manchester or elsewhere in the North West, with availability for one or two filming days each month in Widnes and Liverpool, plus occasional events and additional shoots.
You should be comfortable planning in Notion, working with feedback and helping Sanjay and Shashi feel at ease on camera. We like content with personality, simple production and humour that comes from real moments.
The details
This is an initial two-month freelance retainer covering November and December 2026, with a review in January about continuing. We’re looking for someone who can start quickly and build on our existing momentum.
