A genuine instinct for health and safety in technical environments
The confidence to instruct on and demonstrate equipment to students and staff
A collaborative, customer-focused approach
You'll be part of a team delivering across media disciplines, helping shape the learning experience that makes broadcast education possible for the next generation of TV, journalism and media graduates in facilities that mirror the industry they're heading into, supported by an inclusive, experienced team.
Occasional evening and weekend work required to support live productions. This is a campus-based, student-facing role and is not eligible for hybrid working.
