At Channel 4, we've always liked doing things a bit differently. Creativity and innovation have got us where we are after all. We like to recognise and nurture potential, whatever that person's background, age and qualifications. It's about passion. Your passion and determination to explore what you could achieve - and build your future in this exciting and fast-evolving industry.

We want people with a burning desire to make the highest quality journalism. The scheme will be open to researchers and assistant producers in television with at least 2 years' experience who are ready to move on to the next stage of their career, and to junior producers who are new to producing. You can work in consumer-related features, factual programming or current affairs, but you must have a passion for journalism in some form. We will also be open to journalists outside television, either in the newspaper, radio or online worlds, who have demonstrated strong journalistic ability and commitment, and feel that they are ready to move into television. Positions will be available in London, Manchester and Glasgow.


What will the scheme will involve?

This is on-the-job training which will involve developing ideas for, and working on films for the Dispatches strand. It will be a mixture of mentoring, workshops, and trouble-shooting.
