Contracts Assistant, Part Time - 12 Month FTC
Leeds

Our busy Casting department at ITV Studios requires a Contracts Assistant to join its team for an administrative post based at Kirkstall Road in Leeds on a Part Time basis.

The role is to supply key administrative support to the Casting Department at 'Emmerdale' 1 day or 7.5 hours (9 am - 5.30 pm inc one unpaid lunch hour) per week. This may at times be 1.5 days a week due to workload demands.

The Contracts team manages and generates contracts across the whole ITV studios output, drawing up all the regular and visiting artist contracts on our bespoke contracting system, CAPs, printing out contracts, arranging counter signature by the Casting Director and/or Head of Casting/Contracts and sending to agents.

The Contracts Assistant would be responsible for drawing up, sending out and processing all the artists contracts relating to Emmerdale, (and occasionally Coronation Street,) for regular cast, visiting artists and stunt performers whilst helping to manage the administration and paperwork relating to those processes.

You will log contracts on our system, shared with Talent Payments, chase up late/lost contracts with agents/artists if necessary and make sure all our Talent Pay databases are up to date.

This is a rare opportunity to gain an insight into the administrative processes that are required behind the scenes in television production. A demonstrable interest in TV production and TV Drama is desirable along with experience of working in an administrative role. Experience of working with legal paperwork, systems and spreadsheets is essential.

Excellent attention to detail and accuracy is essential in this role as is absolute discretion with regard to the sensitive and highly confidential information held by the department. We are looking for an individual with strong organisational skills, the ability to work under pressure, who has a keen attention for detail and a pro-active approach to task completion.

Closing date for applications: Thursday 18th April

We continue to work hard to make meaningful changes to make sure ITV continues to welcome diversity, celebrate individuality and support an inclusive working environment.
