Filmmaker Wanted – Sunday Teen Film Classes | £20/hr - £140/day | Aylesbury
If you love making films, thrive on set energy, and get excited about building projects with young people, this job is for you. If you’re a traditional classroom teacher, this role is not for you.
We’re hiring a hands-on filmmaker to lead our teen film programme at the Film & TV Academy in Aylesbury.
This is a practical, real-world filmmaking role. No long theory lessons. No sitting around. This is about making films every week.
The Role
You’ll run two filmmaking sessions every Sunday at Kingsbrook School:
• Every Sunday
• 10:00–13:00 and 14:00–17:00
• Around 15 students per class
• Ages 13–18
• £140 per day
Students work as filmmakers and actors, collaborating on real film projects over multiple weeks. Your job is to run the set, not a classroom.
What This Job Actually Is
• Filming every week
• Students acting, shooting, directing and creating
• Learning by doing, not by listening
• Real-world set energy
• Every student has a clear role
• Projects move forward every week
This is not school. It’s the students' weekend, and parents are paying for a premium experience. Every student should leave happy, engaged, and excited to come back.
Who This Is For
You are someone who is:
• Fun, energetic and confident
• Genuinely passionate about filmmaking
• Comfortable leading and organising 15+ teenagers
• Highly organised (you know scenes, roles, props and schedules)
• Confident with camera, sound, performance and editing
• Flexible, curious and calm under pressure
• Brings child-like enthusiasm to creative projects
You should be more excited about the film projects than the students are. That energy sets the tone.
Who Should NOT Apply
• Traditional classroom teachers
• Anyone who relies on long theory lessons
• Strict or inflexible personalities
• Anyone who prefers students sitting quietly listening
If you don’t enjoy running an active, noisy set, this isn’t the role for you.
Requirements
• 21+
• Driving licence
• Available every Sunday
• Comfortable working with ages 13–18
Teaching qualifications are not required. Real-world filmmaking experience and the right energy matter far more.
Why This Role Is Different
This is a creative leadership role, not a teaching post.
You’ll inspire students by making films with them, not lecturing at them.
