Hollyoaks is renowned for its bright and colourful look, which is reflected in its vibrant and fearless fashion. Our Costume team work to deliver the vision of each character’s individual style, and we are excited to announce that we have an opportunity for a Costume Assistant to join our Hollyoaks crew.
To thrive in this role, you will be passionate about current fashion trends and have an interest in costume. You will also need to have a keen eye for detail as you will be responsible for monitoring continuity on set throughout each filming day.
We are looking for someone with TV experience who is a confident communicator, solution focused and able to work autonomously and as part of a team. As Costume Assistant you will often be the sole person on shoot representing the costume team, you will be given direction and support from your Costume Supervisor in relation to the requirements of each filming day and will be the first point of contact for other crew and cast whilst on the filming floor.
You will work closely with the Costume Supervisor throughout each block, distributing costumes to the relevant dressing rooms, assisting in the dressing/checking of supporting artistes. Under the guidance of the Supervisor, you will assist with breaking down of costumes using the correct techniques and equipment. As part of the costume team, you will aid in the general care of costumes and accessories including washing, cleaning and ironing when required.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast paced, creative and knowledgeable team.
The closing date for applications is 15 February 2023.
