Blast! Films are looking for a senior shooting PD for our highly acclaimed BBC Two social mobility series Generation Gifted. The series is longitudinal and throughout 3 academic school years we are following 6 bright teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds, both at home and school, as they work towards their final GCSE exams next summer.

This will be our third year of filming and we are looking for a strong FS7 shooter who is able to manage complex relationships with young people and their parents, as well as their schools and headteachers. Experience working on sensitive access BBC Two / C4 / ITV 9pm observational documentaries is essential, along with good organisational skills, and in interest in young people and education would be helpful.

We're producing 2 x 60' episodes each year and you will be covering three teenagers to make one of the two episodes for this final year. You will have ownership of one film and will ideally be taking it to the edit so previous edit experience on prime time obs docs is essential.

You will be filming mostly in the north east and the contract will run from Jan 2019 until August (TBC).
