ScreenSkills access coordinator training for HETV
Date Posted: May 17, 2022
ScreenSkills and Bridge06 is looking for 12 people to be trained as Access Coordinators for a high-end TV drama production.
The Access Coordinator role is perfect for people who are committed to improving disability representation, removing barriers to inclusion, and for people from the deaf, disabled and / or neurodivergent communities.
The access coordinator ensures that access and adjustments are provided so that both actors and crew members can give their best work. It is part of an exciting change that is happening in television production and film.
Working from greenlight to post production, the access coordinator will be the bridge between production, cast and crew.
This programme is supported by the ScreenSkills High-end TV Skills Fund with contributions from UK high-end TV productions.
Who it’s for
The programme is for people who have up to 2 years’ relevant experience. This can be in TV or film production, or they may have transferable skills from other areas.
They should be either deaf, disabled, and / or neurodivergent.
Applicants must be able to tell us why they should be in this first group of trainees for access coordinators in high- end TV drama production.
What it covers
This will be an immersive training course running in short modules, both online and in person, in late summer.
The course will take a barrier removal approach. It will cover the basics of production, where access barriers may arise and how to advocate for and on behalf of deaf, disabled and / or neurodivergent cast and crew, from greenlight to post, on set and off.
Dates
Application deadline: Monday 30th May
Interviews on zoom from Friday 10th – Thursday 30th June
Selection of 12 trainees will be made by Friday 15th July
