RUNNER TALENT POOL
We regularly hire Runners to support our productions so have created this page for you to upload your CV if you’re interested in working with us. We look for Runners to work with in a variety of roles across our productions. This can include:
- Running on location – setting up kit, organising lunch, collecting release forms, logging, data wrangling, and charging batteries.
- Running in studio - setting up and stocking the green room, looking after guests, collecting props and printing scripts.
We also hire runners on our shows where they may need to ferry rushes and support cast and crew, and other times we look for general help in the office and admin tasks.
If you are a runner and are interested in working with us, please register your details here.
HOW OUR TALENT POOLS WORK
This Runner talent pool is an opportunity for us to reach out and engage with people who want to work in our team.
Once you have submitted your details, you will automatically become part of our Runner database. We will not be running assessments or interviews at this stage, although productions may run a selection/due dilligence process when they are looking to hire.
Unfortunately, being in the pool doesn't mean you'll be guaranteed to work with us, but it does mean you'll be considered when opportunities arise.
When we have opportunities we may hire directly from the pool if someone has the exact skills and experience required. If it's a more general opportunity we will reach out to the pool and invite expressions of interest.
If you're not available, don't worry, we accept this is going to be the case and you can just submit interest the next time something comes up.
There may be occasions where no one in the pool is suitable or as a business we want to advertise more widely in which case the role will go out to market. If this happens you are welcome to apply.
Please note: some of the questions in the form are specific to particular genre/ business areas (e.g. working with kids, confidence driving, etc). Don't worry if you have no experience in those areas - just be honest in your answers.
All our productions are looking for different things, we just want to know about your specific skills and experience.
