A busy TV station, broadcasting 24 hours a day, is looking for  an entry level night time runner / camera operator to work on a four day on, four day off shift pattern. Shifts are 8.5 hours.

We are looking for candidates with very little experience in broadcast media but who have a strong interest in cameras, sound and lighting and are looking to learn on the job. You must be hard-working with lots of energy, have attention to detail, intelligent, energetic, enthusiastic, proactive, flexible, work well under pressure, have the ability to use own initiative and be willing to learn about all aspects of studio production. This is a demanding and excellent opportunity for an entry level position into television as the right candidate will gain invaluable television experience.

Duties will encompass all that is required of a runner and will be many and varied.
