Screen Academy Officer

Applications are invited for the above temporary part-time (14.5 hours) post working in the School of Arts & Humanities. This is an exciting opportunity to join forces with Bangor University to help us build a unique, bilingual provision with the Screen Academy here in north Wales - a collaborative initiative that promotes regional opportunities for young people to access workplace opportunities in film and television production studios in Wales. It requires a pragmatic and value-based approach to working with industry, Higher Education, Further Education and schools.

The candidate will have education to A level in an appropriate subject(s) or possess equivalent professional experience. The successful candidate will be responsible for promoting the Screen Academy as a shared resource, providing ongoing support to Film and Media courses at Bangor University and the courses of other educational partners including Colleges of Further Education and the Welsh Screen Alliance (www.screenalliancewales.com) as they seek to access and engage with these facilities.

Candidates should have good understanding of film and television production and have experience of managing projects and budgets. Good administrative and communication skills are essential.

The successful candidate will be expected to start as soon as possible.

This role has been made possible with the support of Welsh Government via Creative Wales and the British Film Institute (BFI).

The ability to communicate in Welsh is essential for this post.

This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check.

This role will be located on campus at Bangor. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.

The Screen Academy is part of a network of Screen Academies located in universities and studios throughout Wales. The Academy here in North Wales focuses particularly on promoting skills and opportunities in bilingual production in collaboration with Aria Studios in Llangefni (www.ariafilmstudios.com). The Screen Academy is also part of the BFI's wider scheme which is 'Siop one Stop' under the leadership of Sgil Cymru (www.siopunstop-onestopshop.cymru).
