This role is based at Head Office in Enderby, Leicestershire with a starting salary of £24,560.

About the Role:
This role provides essential hands-on support across both model and non-model shoots, assisting photographers, stylists, and senior team members to ensure smooth, high-volume production.

About You:

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to multitask effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• An excellent communicator and team player with a proactive, can-do attitude, comfortable taking initiative to solve problems quickly.
