Today's Recommended JobsLots of fantastic jobs on the site today! (and yes, we are 6 hours late because of new IT systems, but more on that will follow, addressing the upcoming changes to MFJF...did someone say instant job alerts via WhatsApp? A high-end TV drama is hiring paid junior crew across six departments at once, and it came to us direct, so it's only on MFJF. It's a four-part shoot running 13 weeks, seven of those filmed in Watford, and you'd be working alongside crew with a lot of miles on them. You need to be based near Watford; experience on a production of similar scale counts for a lot, and a driving licence is handy without being essential. Keep your application short and make your location obvious in the first line. Get it in today: the Line Producer will be reading as they come in and shortlisting well before the ad comes down.
Production Assistant sits with an award-winning creative agency in London that makes trailers, promos and campaign material. You'd be supporting producers on schedules, paperwork, clearances and delivery, and it's a permanent job built to grow into producing. Worth writing today rather than at the weekend. Trainee Talent Pool is a register rather than a single vacancy, run by an award-winning Bristol producer of wildlife and factual work. Studio-runner type shifts, ad-hoc, paid. Get your name in now and you're in the pile when the next short-term gap opens. Talent Assistant is with a world-leading visual effects and immersive content studio, based in London, hybrid with three days on site. You'd be the first face new starters meet, running their onboarding and training. Good one if people and organisation are your strengths rather than kit. Freelance Production Runners puts you on a production company's books for ongoing paid bookings, mostly on location around the UK with some studio days. Kit, setup, crew and talent, wrap. Steady work and a CV that fills up fast. We rate these highly, and the books tend to close once they're full. Music Central Assistant is at a world-leading talent agency in London, permanent, full training given, and it normally moves on to a Music Agent's Assistant seat. Agency assistant jobs like this get read the day they land, so today is the day. Costume Junior comes from one of the UK's biggest broadcasters and producers, a year-long fixed term on a continuing drama. Continuity, prep, dressing supporting artists, stock. Rare thing: a full year of paid costume department experience. Development Assistant is a paid year with a drama producer working on UK and international shows, London based. Diary support, slate and database upkeep, pitch documents, research, awards submissions. If development is where you want to end up, don't sit on this one. Junior Video Editor is with a BAFTA-winning, Emmy-nominated producer in sport and unscripted. Cutting archive compilations for a big sports YouTube channel, fixed term into 2027, four days in the office. Ideal for anyone who needs a showreel more than anything else. Production Runner/Assistant is high-end TV in Bridgend, front of house for the production office and running it day to day. The listing says apply asap, so take them at their word. Also new today...
