They are looking to meet new workshop assistants to help deliver their range of Saturday sessions, after school clubs and holiday projects.
Workshop assistants play a vital supportive role and the role is suitable for someone looking for more experience in education or filmmaking.

The ideal candidate will have experience of working with children, a passion for film, confidence, intuition, good communication skills, team working skills and an aptitude for technical operation.
The role is a freelance one, and successful candidates will be invited to join our workshop pool, and then offered specific projects that are the best match for them.
As this is a self-employment role, candidates will be responsible for their own NI and tax obligations.
