rad TV Trainee Programmes

Ever thought about working in TV? 

rad Scotland is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who would love to work in television but hasn’t been able to find a way in or has faced a barrier to entry.

Whether that barrier has been through race, disability or economic background – rad was created to dissolve those barriers.

What’s more, their host production companies are dedicated to supporting you throughout the programme. You’ll also have team TRC on hand to support you throughout the whole experience – we'll be there to steer you through. 

So what is rad? 

rad is a paid eight-month traineeship within a Scottish independent television production company which includes full training throughout the placement.

The programme is aimed at those who are underrepresented in the TV industry: those either with a disability, from black, Asian or ethnic minority communities or from disadvantaged backgrounds.

There are twelve positions available across three roles: Researcher, Edit Assistant and Production Assistant.

The traineeship will continue within government COVID-19 guidelines, as both TRC and the host TV production companies are committed to delivering the programme and supporting the trainees. Please note, some working from home may be required.

Please note, applications for rad TV 2022 are now closed.
