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 break down those barriers.

It's time to forget the 'who you know' rule - we want to know you!

What's more, our 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.

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 who are either deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent, from Black, Asian or minority ethnic communities or from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

There are twelve positions available across three roles: Researcher (Development or Production), Edit Assistant and Production Assistant. For more information about each role, please see our rad roles and key skills info sheet or alternatively have a look at the relevant job profile on the ScreenSkills website.

You don't have to apply to a specific role but here's our quick guide to each one so you can tailor your application:

Are you brimming with ideas, creativity and love watching telly? Do you love talking to people, have an eye for a story and a curiosity to know and find out the facts? You could be perfect to develop your skills as a Researcher.

Do you know your way round an edit suite or just a pro at iMovie Maker? Training as Edit Assistant role could be just for you.

Are you a whizz at admin and spreadsheets or love organising and have a great eye for detail? We would love to help you develop those skills into the role of Production Team Assistant.
