A Place in the Sun is busier than ever and we are looking for 2 new PD's to join the team travelling either 3rd or 10th October for up to 6 weeks on the road.

The successful 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.

We are happy to consider applications from experienced DV Directors/Producers who are keen to make the step up towards PD'ing.

The role is almost entirely location based, with just the first few days of production in the office in Chorleywood as paid training days - or these could be done remotely.

Filming will be in either 4 or 6 week blocks on location so you need to be able to be away from the UK for up to 6 weeks at a time. In a 6 week period you would deliver 3 shows.

As we are currently filming in the EU you must have a valid passport and ideally an EU passport for ease of travel without visas.

As some entry requirements insist on travellers being double jabbed preference will be given to those who will be double jabbed at least 14 days before travelling.

You must be able to start on either 3rd or 10th October so please do not apply if you are not available for one or other of these dates and state your availability clearly in your application as well as your COVID 19 vaccination status.

You also must hold a full driving licence and be confident in driving overseas.

You will need to abide by our COVID-19 protocols to ensure as safe a working environment as is possible.

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!

As we are in production all year we are keen to offer repeat contracts to those that are seeking regular work.
