Location: Calder Valley (Home-based initially, option to move to local office as company grows) Hours: Flexible / Outcome-based (To be agreed). Part-Time candidates considered Basis: Open to PAYE, Freelance, or Contractor applications. This is not an entry level role. Term: 6 months confirmed period with intention to extend to a permanent position. Start Date: to be discussed but no later than June 2026. The Company: The Production Training Company The Production Training Company is an established provider of vocational training, with a track record of delivering expert content for industry leaders including the BBC, ITV, Netflix , and major funding bodies like ScreenSkills and The Production Guild of Great Britain . We are currently pivoting to a "learner-led" digital model, building a subscription platform that allows freelancers to choose their own training on-demand, recognising that no two career paths result in the same knowledge gaps. The website (currently under construction) will be re-launched over the next few weeks and will be expanded over the next year to a full service. Alongside this, we are launching a series of books covering the production process. Starting with the Production Office Department, we have a clear roadmap to expand into other operations and logistics departments and sectors of the industry. We intend to provide freelance workers in a precarious career with control and choice over what training support they receive. Our audience competes with a level of professional instability and a cultural expectation that they will need minimal training at work. We aim to run an easy, flexible and low-cost (and where possible no-cost) resource that will provide knowledge and confidence to our clients and participants. Simultaneously, we will be seeking tenders for continued face-to-face training as well as bidding for resource and content creation projects, building on what has already become a successful and valued asset to the Film and TV training sector. The Role: Defined by You I am looking for a Project & Funding Manager based in/within commuting distance from the Calder Valley to manage the funding and delivery of existing services and exploration of new opportunities. You do not need to be from the Film & TV industry or have a background in training or education; I value the lived workplace experience of someone from any industry including those with a charity, arts, corporate, educational, or civil service background . I would like the successful candidate to feel that they are contributing to the direction of the business by identifying new concepts and curating a slate of exciting new potential projects to add to what has already been developed. This role is designed to be ultra-inclusive . I value your output over "presenteeism." Applicants will be offered the opportunity to have a hand in designing the manner in which they work including the hours and location. I hope that this approach will open the role up to a greater number of experienced and capable applicants who might otherwise find a more traditionally structured working week difficult to balance; and that might otherwise not apply. I hope a successful applicant will feel they have a high level of autonomy and control over the delivery of the work. This is in the spirit of the company ethos and the standards that will be emphasised in all training that is delivered. While the role is currently home-based, it is a local partnership; we will meet in person regularly, and as the business expands, we plan to acquire physical premises in the area. Some attendance at meetings and during events will be required but even when offices are taken, I would be happy for the role to continue to include a considerable amount of home working if desired while welcoming more attendance where possible. Physical presence will only be insisted upon where needed to ensure a strong working relationship and meaningful communication within the team. This is a growth role, intended to become a cornerstone position within the structure of the company. It will require a level of autonomy, self-management and entrepreneurial thinking. The role will report directly to the founder/MD. Your focus will be: Funding & Tenders: Researching and coordinating the bidding for training tenders across multiple sectors. Also providing your own input into what projects should be applied for and why they would suit our brand. This will require creativity, strong opinions and alignment with the companys culture. . Project Management: Overseeing successful tenders, from marketing and recruitment to managing the logistical delivery of courses and events. Financial & Audit Management: Managing budgets, monitoring cashflow during live projects, and acting as the lead contact for fund managers during audits. (You will not be required to complete accountancy responsibilities such as payroll and tax returns.) Operational Scaling: Supporting the growth of our new subscription platform and book series including accreditation applications. You will be helping to ensure that the outgoing services/delivery of tendered projects complement and align with the in-house products on the digital and print platforms. Skills and Requirements: A proven ability to self-manage your time and work to deadlines. Ability to prioritise based on your own judgment while still reporting up where appropriate. No specialist computer or technical skills are required, but a high level of computer literacy is needed for use of Microsoft tools, email, google docs & sheets. Time will be allowed for familiarisation in other software if needed. The ability to use social media to post and promote events is essential. Fundraising or procurement experience is desirable. This will include research and EOI/application writing. However, a proven level of experience in roles with transferable skills will be valuable as well. Remuneration Annual Salary: To be reflective of experience and levels of responsibility/working hours we discuss and eventually agree. We are also open to discussing some levels of commission based on funds raised but this is intended to be a salary based position rather than gig role. When Applying Please indicate if you are applying on a PAYE, Freelance, or Contractor basis. Due to HMRC rules, I may not be able to accommodate all preferences, but will take all options into consideration. Candidates invited to interview will receive a short phone call to discuss the role requirements in more detail in advance of any interview. They will then be asked to outline their ideal working structure and time commitment to meet the scope of the role during the interview. Time between the call and interview will be allowed so candidates can consider. I will not be asking you to create presentations or complete sample work without remuneration before we meet. Only to consider how you might make the role work for the company and also achieve a level of work/life balance for yourselves. If you require any reasonable adjustments to the application or interview process, please let us know in your application. TPBN1_UKTJ
