Channel 4 offers a limited number of short-term work placements to people with a strong desire to work in the media.
Due to the large volume of applicants we receive, these positions are in high demand and successful candidates will need to demonstrate a keen desire to work at the Channel.

If you are interested and would like to apply for a placement, please return the on-line application form, so that we have a clearer view of your suitability. You will receive an acknowledgement that we have received your form. Should we have an opportunity to take your application forward, we will ask you to send in your c.v.

If you are interested in a career in production, please note that Channel 4 commissions almost all of its programmes from independent production companies and therefore we do not produce programmes in-house.
