You’ll work across both traditional SDI infrastructure and IP-based systems helping our facilities keep pace with where the industry is heading.

You’ll support students across a range of courses across Television, Journalism, Film and Digital Media as they bring ambitious productions to life, balancing their creative vision with the technical rigour and safety standards a live studio environment demands.

• Practical know-how in IT-networking, IP-based broadcast infrastructure and AoIP/AVoIP technologies
• 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.
