Junior Researcher/Researcher

London/WFH

We are looking for a Junior Researcher/Researcher to come and work on a returning Channel 4 daytime show called Find It, Fix It, Flog It.
The show follows keen upcycler Simon O'Brien, who loves turning everyday items into pieces of furniture, whilst motorbike-mad Henry Cole loves restoring anything automotive, as they embark on their quest to uncover and add value to hidden treasures in sheds up and down the UK.
The ideal candidate must be organised and have excellent researching skills, as their primary role will involve finding new sheds, barns, or garages full of interesting items for Henry and Simon to take away and give a new lease of life to.

This role would suit someone who's looking to step up from Runner to Researcher. Having an interest in 'home-improvement/makeover' shows and casting is a bonus.

The successful candidate must be personable on the phone as they'll be required to speak with potential contributors. In addition, you will need a good eye for story development, as they will be expected to perform location recces, with the intention of the location being signed off by the commissioner.

This role will be WFH initially, with flexible office working hopefully an option in the coming months. The Junior Researcher/Researcher will be working closely with the AP in the office, and the role will be based in London, with opportunities to go out on location following pre-production.
Adept social media skills are a bonus but not essential. You must have a full driving licence as well.

We're looking for an applicant to start ASAP for a long-term contract, through to around October/November, with the potential option to extend into other series.

We are an inclusive employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of our workforce. We particularly encourage applicants from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds to apply
