YouTube Script Writer

Role Create YouTube content that transforms healthcare expertise into videos patients actually choose to watch. You’ll work directly with doctors, surgeons, dentists and other health experts to uncover what makes them different, identify the questions their patients are actually asking, and turn decades of expertise into compelling YouTube content that educates, builds trust and grows their practice. This isn’t blogging, SEO writing or simply turning articles into video scripts. It’s equal parts content strategy, audience psychology, packaging and storytelling. We need someone who writes for the ear, not the eye. Every sentence should make the next sentence impossible not to hear. Employment Type Full Time Independent Contractor This is a long-term contractor role with a full-time workload. You’ll have flexibility over when and where you work, but should expect this role to represent the majority of your professional capacity. This position does not include employee benefits. We care much more about the quality of your work and whether you hit deadlines than what hours you keep. You’ll need to be available for scheduled client and team meetings, but outside of those commitments, you’ll largely manage your own schedule. Results 1.
