We are delighted to be recruiting for trainees to work on a large scale TV drama. Trainee internships are available across multiple departments within the production.

Whilst details of the project are being kept under wraps for time being, this will be a large-scale production with a lot of opportunities to get a real insight into the filmmaking process.

The team are looking for trainees in the following departments:

Electrical (Lighting)
Costume
Production
Props
Assistant Directors
Crowd Assistant Directors
Art Department
Set Decorating
Covid
Hair and Make up
Locations

The filming will all be based in/around Aylesbury. All successful candidates must be based nearby or be able to relocate.

Trainees will start at some point in February 2022 (although there is some flexibility with this, and departments may be willing to push start dates by a week or two). The contracts will run up until October and will typically be for 40hrs a week, Monday-Friday.

You must be prepared to follow Covid policies and be tested weekly (or possibly more than weekly, dependent on the department). Production will cover the costs of all covid tests, PPE etc.

• Applicants must have a genuine passion for pursuing a career in the film industry and must have a desire to work in the department they are applying to
• No prior experience on set is necessary, but we ask that all candidates commit to the role for the duration of the traineeship
• Due to the nature of the production, all trainees will be asked to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), which means you are not allowed to disclose any details of the production (e.g. cast, story etc) to anyone outside of the production, including friends and family
