HELP WANTED - ICT Media Team

[+CaleyD]

We're looking to add a couple of people to the ICT Media Team in order to assist with stuff on match days...both home and away.  We do have non-matchday duties, but your participation in/assistance with these would fall entirely to availability.

 

At the moment we're looking to add.....

 

Camera Operator - You don't have to be a professional but some experience of pointing a video camera in the right direction would be useful.     You will primarily be involved in the videoing of matches, but we are looking to expand our matchday activities and do more regular interviews with fans etc as well.  Depending on the level of commitment people are able to give, we may look to add more than one person and share the responsibility.  All equipment is provided.

 

Live Text Commentator - Due to commitment to so many things, provision of live text updates via Twitter (at present) has been a bit hit or miss.We'd therefore like to add to the team at least one person, but again it is something we could share depending on commitment people could give.  All you need is the ability to sum up ongoing match activity concisely and effectively.  Equipment can be provided on matchdays (laptop or tablet), but if you have and prefer to use your own then that's fine.

 

Matchday Announcer - Looking for someone to share and/or take over the duties of the matchday announcer....or to help expand the position into a dual role so we can get back to having someone pitch-side who can be a bit more "interactive" and assist with stuff which would improve the matchday experience for the fans in the stands.  Some experience in a connected/similar type job would be desirable due to the nature of the position, but guidance and training can be given where needed.

 

The ICT Media Team is made up entirely of fan volunteers, so no payment (with the possible exception of the announcers role).  However you do get free access to the game and if you are travelling to away games then travel arrangements are made for free.

 

We would be particularly interested in working with/helping anyone who might be studying towards a qualification in a connected subject and the opportunity may exist for us to extend your involvement to assist further with that.

 

The craic is good and we have a lot of laughs, but the Media Team exists to help the club fulfil it's media obligations to TV/Radio/Internet partners etc, so a certain level of maturity, professionalism and...above all else...trustworthiness is expected.

 

If you are interested, then drop me an e.mail on [email protected] and we'll take it from there.

Jeezo, just read my email back, woeful. I'm better with 140 characters than I am at writing emails pitching something I want to do.

Great opportunity to get involved with the club for those who get the spots offered.
