This is a permanent position, based in our Digbeth office in Birmingham. While ad hoc opportunities to work from home could be arranged through the Line Manager, it is expected that this is largely an office‑based role. While a general understanding of post production with practical experience of how it fits into the production process is essential for this role, we understand that training may be needed to give a suitable candidate the deeper technical understanding and familiarity with our scheduling systems to thrive in this role. However we need candidates who have hands‑on experience in post production or production and will not consider applications from those who are aspiring to work in the industry but have not yet worked in a suitable role.
