In order to support our busy Assistant Directors' Department, we regularly offer both short-term and long-term contracts to cover the position of Floor Assistant and 3rd AD.

Our Floor Assistant role is an entry level position which will involve working closely with the cast during the rehearsal and recording of scenes. You will assist with line runs and
communicate any requests for dialogue changes to all artists and crew during
rehearsals/takes. In addition you will be required to help arrange background artistes in scenes developing a strong understanding of continuity.

Following a successful period of time working in this role you may be offered a further contract to work in the capacity of 3rd Assistant Director. Your responsibilities as a 3rd will be to support the 1st AD as they work their way through a demanding production schedule with tight deadlines. You will then have the skills to rotate between these two roles as and when required. When you leave us you should have gained the knowledge and skill-base to confidently work across a variety of dramas in a freelance capacity and retain links in the ITV Talent Pool.

You should already have a credit list of working in the capacity of a Runner or other similar
role in the TV industry. Excellent communications skills are essential, together with strong organisational and administration skills. You will also be a diplomat - absolute discretion and confidentiality is a requirement of these roles. You will have the ability to work under pressure, work long and unsociable hours in both a studio and location environment and be prepared to change your working pattern at short notice.

If you have the skills we are looking for with an understanding of TV processes and an absolute passion to develop a career as a freelance Assistant Director, then apply now!
