Recruitment for Mid & South Essex NHS Trust
Mid & South Essex Foundation commissioned us to produce this recruitment video to attract applications from critical care staff.
We worked with them to create a clear script that clearly explained the roles available and the benefits of working with the foundation.
And we established a visual style featuring staff from across the foundation’s 3 main sites. Shot under Covid restrictions, it’s a well-paced and watchable film.
”Magneto Films delivered a recruitment video that makes us proud, made us smile and is a great medium for us to show our new and potential staff.
NHS VIDEO

NHS VIDEO SERVICES
Patient Information Films
When people are newly diagnosed with a condition or they’re receiving treatment, they often have many concerns and questions. Video is a reassuring way to offer help and advice in a form that’s easy to share and can be watched privately.
Vision & Values
Many NHS organisations are going through substantial change, so video becomes a vital tool for communicating with staff across Trusts or Foundations. We make films that help NHS comms teams or human resources to communicate new strategies and visions to a wide team.
Onboarding & Recruitment Video
Attracting and retaining staff is a high priority for NHS Trusts and a well made video is an effective way of showcasing roles and facilities to recruit new clinical or care staff. It’s also a useful part of the onboarding process to explain values and share information to new staff.
Campaign videos
Video is a powerful tool for creating behaviour change or letting people know about new services and facilities that are available to them. We’ve worked with NHS Improvement to showcase personal healthcare budgets or to encourage patients to use on-line services.
”Every shot of the film was considered thoughtfully and emotively, and the content of our film successfully conveyed our strategy,

Strategy video for NHS Trust
Frimley Health NHS Trust

We feature contributions from staff at all levels from care worker to Chief Executive.
Staff inclusion video for NHS mental health

This famous Mental Health Trust needed a series of uplifting videos that would inspire and motivate staff by reminding them of the huge difference their care makes to the patients they serve. We featured the stories of the therapeutic relationships that develop between staff and patients.
