We are looking for four creative, rebellious, problem-solving individuals.

Eighteen months. Paid. Based in York.

We are not interested in your showreel. We are not interested in your degree, or if you quit education altogether.

We are interested in what you have made when nobody asked you to make it.

The video you cut on a borrowed laptop. The TikTok series nobody watched. The VR music video for your friend's band. The thing you built in Unreal at 3am because you wanted to see if it would work. The short film you finished, and the one you didn't. The experience of having tried.

If you have done something like this, and you suspect that moving images are still the most exciting medium on Earth, we would like to hear from you.

You will work alongside professional artists and creatives on real projects, with real deadlines and real audiences.

You will develop practical skills across areas including:

  • Visual effects and compositing
  • CG, 3D and digital workflows
  • Production and post-production
  • Directing and storytelling
  • Emerging technologies and creative experimentation
  • You will not be a runner. You will not be making tea (Unless you want tea!). You will not be invisible.

From the first week, you will be treated as someone whose ideas and perspective have a place in the work.

Alongside your role, you will complete the structured learning and assessment required for the Level 4 apprenticeship.
