WANTED: Researcher: Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2026 Fundraising films

2 months starting soon - with a potential to extend

Telling Tales Productions is seeking a dedicated Researcher to support the production and post-production of fundraising films and documentary content for ITV’s Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2026. These short, emotional films highlight UNICEF's crucial work worldwide and aim to encourage donations during the live broadcast of the football match.

We are looking for someone who is patient, interested, good with detail and who has a sense of humour. You will be working on films with sensitive subject matter, some of which may tackle tough stories. We are a small company who work closely together and support each other, but as there is some remote working, you need to be comfortable with working independently too. Given the nature of our work, plans will change and change again so you need to be able to work well in a changing environment.

Solid experience as a TV researcher with a minimum of 2 broadcast Researcher credits. Experience of archive researching, story producing, and international filming would be highly beneficial. Please do highlight any relevant experience including any technical skills in filming/edit and any language skills in your communication.

Applications (CV and cover note) by 5th September
