NeW Graduate placement scheme

Are you a graduate looking for a career in the technical side of the Broadcast Industry? Or an employer looking for some fresh, new talent?

BroadcastJobs.com works with a range of broadcasters, production companies, post production companies and related technology vendors to help them advertise vacancies and attract candidates. One thing they all have in common, is a shortage of young technical talent coming into the business. BroadcastJobs.com’s Graduate Placement Scheme aims to provide a route into full time paid careers on behalf of relevant graduates from all over the UK.

What types of roles are offered?

Anything that combines Broadcast / TV and technology. Such as, but not limited to:

Edit Assistant

Logger

Junior Engineer

Kit Room assistant

Runner

Archive assistant

Camera Operator

NOC / MCR assistant

AV Technician

Base Technician

Server Technician

Scheduling Coordinator

Rentals Coordinator

Why would a graduate benefit?

Today's graduates face a number of hurdles entering the workforce. They can be unsure about what path they want to take; they may be unaware of what opportunities are available to them. Seeking your first full time paid job while also having to manage your tax affairs, find accommodation and pay bills presents a real challenge.

BroadcastJobs.com partners with employers who are willing to offer fixed term contracts of no less than two months, paying no less than £100 per day, usually with travel expenses on top. This gives graduates an opportunity to earn a fair wage and be given a real opportunity to develop professional skills, get experience and prove their ability with a genuine employer. BroadcastJobs.com provides an umbrella company for the duration of the fixed term contract meaning the graduate is assured that they are tax compliant, fully insured, and free to get on with the job.

How would an employer benefit?

Following a successful trial with Ravensbourne University, BroadcastJobs.com has broadened this scheme to include more than 40 universities across the UK. Essentially, we have gathered all the UK's best broadcast / TV / Film graduates into one place and can deliver them, on demand to suit whatever vacancy you may have. These students will have graduated in courses such as:

Digital Film Production

Digital Television Production

Editing & Post Production

Broadcast Engineering

Digital Content Creation

If you are looking to pipeline young technical talent into your business this represents a low cost, low risk way of achieving that. After the initial fixed term contract, you as the employer are free to extend the contract or offer permanent staff roles to any of the graduates free of charge. So far we have seen more than 80% of the graduates be offered full time work after the initial trial.
