Location Producer/Directors
Chorleywood and Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Spain.
A Place in the Sun and A Place in the Sun: Home or Away are looking for 2 experienced Producer/Directors to join our pool of regular PD's from early April 2020.
The ideal candidates will have experience of scripting, producing and directing 60 min formatted programmes, plus experience of working on property shows would be a bonus but not essential.
You will be directing a 2 person crew and shooting second camera on the opening and closing sequences, so you need to be confident in self-shooting and experienced in managing presenters and contributors.
On a Place in the Sun the role is almost entirely location based, with just the first few days of production in the office in Chorleywood. This spring and summer we will be filming in Spain, France, Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Bulgaria.
Filming will be in a 6 week block on location so you need to be able to be away from home for 6 weeks at a time. In this 6 week period you would deliver 3 shows.
On A Place in the Sun: Home or Away the role combines filming in the UK as well as Spain, France and Portugal. You would be in the office in Chorleywood and on location in the UK and overseas for max 6 days at a time. The contract is usually 6 weeks.
We are also happy to consider applications from experienced DV Directors/Producers who are keen to make the step up towards PD'ing.
If you can think on your feet, manage talent and contributors, plus lead a team on location to produce a stylish engaging show then we need you!
You also must hold a full driving licence and be confident in driving overseas.
As we are in production all year we are keen to offer repeat contracts to those that are seeking regular work.
Please state your availability in your covering letter.
