Picture yourself creating on-air promotions for Sky Movies, helping out on a TV campaign for Sky+HD or working on fast turnaround highlights for Sky Sports.

Sky Post Production- You’ll be placed within our talented Post Production team, which is part of the wider Sky Production Services department.

Whichever route you choose, you’ll have access to our fantastic range of benefits, including generous holiday, competitive salary and free Sky+HD and Broadband. Even better, you’ll gain a nationally-recognised qualification and a permanent position while you’re learning about what we do.

If you’re looking to join our Sky Post Production team, this apprenticeship involves working with a wide range of Sky content, some of which is not suitable for under 18’s. As a responsible employer and broadcaster, for these areas, we are therefore unable to accept applications from people who will not have reached the age of 18 by 1 September 2015.
