Skills you'll need (minimum criteria)

• Demonstrable TV-related interests: we are looking for candidates who can point to specific examples of their passion, whether through hobbies, self-taught technical skills, or knowledge of the industry.
• Evidence of working in high-pressure environments (e.g., retail, hospitality, or events), not just media.
• Demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm for working across all genres, showing no bias between scripted or unscripted programmes.
• A proactive, "can-do" attitude suitable for high-pressure studio, location environments and office environments.
• Strong communication skills.
