Why you should join us…

ITV News delivers high quality and trustworthy coverage attracting record audiences. 

Business overview:

Millbank is the home of the ITV News political unit and we have an exciting opportunity for a Production Specialist to join the team. As a Production Specialist you will provide technical and operational support for Operational Engineers, Newsroom and management, as well as the external clients who use Millbank’s services and facilities. You will be working as a member of a small, well established team who will offer support and advice when needed.

This role entails…

You will receive lots of on-the-job training and will be exposed to a wide range of technical activities across the ITV News Group. The role is therefore ideal for someone starting out on a career in broadcasting, following a suitable higher education qualification,  or someone who already has experience in this area. 

You will have a knowledge and appreciation of current broadcast technologies. Experience in broadcasting would be an advantage but not essential. You will be highly motivated, personable and have the ability to work as part of a team while not being afraid to make decisions when needed, often in high pressure situations. You will be dealing with clients on a face-to-face basis every day so you will need to be confident and outgoing in your nature. An interest in politics, though not essential, would be beneficial.

You will be expected, after an initial period of training, to fit in with our regular shift patterns when needed to cover all aspects of the service. The needs of the service demand flexibility and a willingness to react to daily changing needs. ITV Millbank as our centre of politics news gathering, covers ITV News as well as external needs from Good Morning Britain through to the end of News at Ten throughout the week, and at times, the weekend too.

Minimum role criteria:

  • Experience of working in a busy office environment in an administrative role.

  • Working in live TV production.

  • Experience of scheduling.

  • Proven technical experience relevant to the role.

  • Social Media/Digital Awareness.

ITV strongly encourages applications for this role from candidates with a disability and as a Disability Confident Leader, we have committed to interview all candidates with a disability whose application meets the minimum criteria for the role. (minimum criteria above).

  • Confident communicator.

  • The ability to multi-task across a number of different requirements.

  • Brings a positive attitude to their work.

  • Proven ability to learn and apply new skills.

  • Proven attention to detail.

  • A team player who demonstrates drive and resilience.

  • The ability to demonstrate resilience and determination with a willingness to learn new skills.

We're happy to discuss any support/personalisation you may need during our application process as part of our reasonable adjustments approach. So we encourage you to get in touch with us if you require anything... 
 

We want to be the most flexible employer in Media. We offer Smart working and we will support you and provide you the right environment and work/ life balance.


We reach millions of people everyday, that’s why having diverse talents and being an organisation where colleagues feel included is crucial to us. We have various networks who celebrate and support our colleagues. We try to embed an inclusive mindset in everything we do.
