Due to an increased student demand The Faculty of Arts, Computing, Engineering and Science is seeking to appoint a Media Technician in the Creative Media Team, to support the day-to-day work of students and staff.
You will be required to undertake maintenance and issuing of equipment; help support the TV, Radio and performance studios, and pc/mac labs; assist Lecturers with the setup and preparation of classes and demonstrate the use of equipment and facilities. Good working knowledge of professional audio and visual equipment and an understanding of current media production work flows is therefore essential.
The post offers opportunities for assisting in the realisation of imaginative and sometimes unusual work, with undergraduate, postgraduate, and research students, and consultancy projects. The ability to undertake work individually and also the ability to work effectively as part of the Creative Media Technical Team is essential.
As you are working closely with students and staff, often being the first line of contact, you should be able to demonstrate the ability to deal with conflicting demands and deadlines and have good communication skills.
In return, we offer a range of excellent benefits including 25 days annual leave, plus 14 additional leave days (including bank holidays), flexitime, childcare vouchers, and a pension scheme.
Non-EU Nationals please note
The University has a legal responsibility to ensure that all employees are entitled to live and work in the UK. Due to the current restrictions on the number of Tier 2 Certificates of Sponsorship available, it is unlikely that we would be able to obtain a Tier 2 Certificate of Sponsorship for this job. Therefore it is unlikely that we will be able to consider applications from candidates who require Tier 2 immigration status to work in the UK. You can check whether you would be eligible to work in the UK under the points based system by using the UKBA points calculator. For further information please visit the UK Border Agency website.
