As someone with a flexible, fabulous attitude, you’re calm (blue ocean) who loves working with your team and occasionally jetting across the UK and overseas.

- Working knowledge of Health and Safety and Sustainability requirements of venues specialising in live events and film & video productions
- Impressive ability to work on own initiative with minimum supervision
- Ability to organise and maintain records
- Computer literate (Outlook, excel, word)
- Full UK driving licence

**Get to know us**:
We’re one of the most unexpectedly all-round capable communications agencies that’s been on the go for years - ever since our head honcho set up shop in a shed back in 1980, in fact. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to make anything possible for our many and varied clients, putting our creative flair into delivering strategic communication campaigns, digital solutions, film and videos, events, exhibitions, and a whole lot more in between. We’ve grown a lot, but we’ve kept everything that made us great, back from the very day we first started out. Our global HQ and largest studios are smack bang in the middle of the UK and well worth a visit to see for yourself

**Hang on, there’s more**:
The role will be based primarily in Hartlebury, but there will be times when you’ll need to work from our other offices and undertake other related commercial duties both in the UK and overseas. Flexibility is key We’re a friendly team. We really, really welcome anyone who wants to become part of a brilliant company. If you’re passionate with a cracking drive to deliver on our ‘anything’s possible’ mindset, we’d love to hear from you
