Workplace: Leeds / Location
The role:
This recruitment is for a talent pool rather than a specific vacancy. If you're successful, you'll join our pool of Runners and Location Runners who we'll consider for future opportunities on Emmerdale as they arise. Joining the talent pool doesn't guarantee an offer of work, but it means we'll be able to contact you when suitable freelance opportunities become available.
You'll play a key role in supporting the Assistant Directors to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the shoot, acting as a vital link between the set and the Production Office. In this fast-paced, collaborative role, you'll help coordinate information, keep communication flowing, and support the delivery of Emmerdale to its consistently high production standards. We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive, thrives under pressure, and enjoys working as part of a team in a dynamic production environment.
SKILLS YOU’LL NEED (MINIMUM CRITERIA)
- Experience in a Runner or similar production support role, or the ability to demonstrate transferable skills gained through paid, voluntary, freelance, educational or other relevant experience.
- Experience of working in a production, broadcast, film, theatre, live events or another fast-paced Production environment, or the ability to demonstrate the skills required to work effectively in this type of setting.
- Experience using production documentation (such as call sheets, production schedules or similar operational documents).
- Experience supporting on-screen talent, performers, contributors, customers or colleagues in a professional environment, demonstrating excellent communication and interpersonal skills while maintaining professionalism, respect and confidentiality.
- Able to work flexibly in a fast-paced production environment, including studio and location filming, adapting to changing priorities and working patterns.
- Location Runner only: A full, clean manual driving licence (or equivalent arrangements as part of a reasonable adjustment where a disability has been disclosed).
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
OTHER THINGS WE’RE LOOKING FOR (KEY CRITERIA)
- Knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, Emmerdale and continuing drama production.
- Previous experience of floor running in both studio and location environments is desirable.
- You may be asked to undertake driving responsibilities as part of the role. A full, clean manual driving licence is desirable.
- Ability to use your initiative, solve problems quickly and remain calm when working under pressure in a fast-paced production environment.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise competing tasks and adapt to changing production requirements.
- Good IT skills, including experience using Google Workspace (or equivalent systems).
