Trainee casting assistant

Found in: beBee jobs GB - 2 weeks ago


London, Greater London, United Kingdom The Casting Directors' Guild Full time

Closing date: Sunday 5th May at 11.59pm

Salary/bursary: Equivalent to London Living Wage

Duration: 12 weeks

Hours: 35 hours per week

Location: London (Zones 1-2)

Start date: June 2024

This is a great opportunity to gain experience with three casting directors throughout the casting process for theatre, TV, film and commercial productions.

The Casting Director's Guild internship works as a collaboration between independent casting offices who are all members of the CDG.

Drawing on years of artistic taste, imagination, knowledge, research and political expertise, established Casting Directors collaborate with Directors, Producers, Writers etc. to achieve the casting vision for the production.

It is a role that requires an understanding of psychology, artistic taste and style, interpretative taste, current and historical social politics; the ability to form collaborative relationships; and also, of course, knowing the different levels and styles of national and international actors and acting.

As an intern, you will spend 4 weeks working full-time in each of three separate offices (for a total of 12 weeks). These could be in different areas of casting such as theatre, TV, film and commercials. While host offices are subject to change, the three offices currently lined up for the internship cover TV (scripted), film and theatre.

While it is at heart an artistic and creative profession, you should understand that the role itself is almost completely office-based and, particularly at the junior levels, very admin-heavy. Before applying for an internship it is worth reading through the information on CDG's website about how careers in casting work, to decide whether it could appeal to you in the long term:

What you will be doing

Through a series of primary learning objectives, the internship aims to arm you with a basic understanding of the casting process, as well as general office skills and knowledge of specific casting assistant duties such as:

Handling calls and emailsOffice administrationScript reading skillsChecking actor availabilitiesSetting up auditionsEditing audition videosUsing SpotlightCreating character breakdowns from scripts As each office has its own house style as well as areas of expertise, you will have the same primary learning objectives in each office. This will also stand you in good stead if you choose to pursue a career in casting, as junior assistant jobs are often short-term, and you will need to be ready to adapt to different ways of working.
