We are seeking an experienced camera operator - ideally with a background in live-streaming - to cover a series of top-level school rugby matches from September to December 2026. This is a recurring opportunity with potential for continued work into 2027.
The Role
You will join a 4-person broadcast team consisting of an off-site graphics producer, a commentator, and two on-site camera operators filming from a scaffold tower.
Responsibilities
- Wide-Angle & Live Mix: Operate the wide-angle camera while live-mixing between your feed and the tight-shot (provided by the other cam op) using a battery-powered switcher.
- Transmission: Send the final mixed feed to the off-site producer via a LiveU unit (4 bonded connections).

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
