About the Film & Television Charity 

The film, TV and cinema sectors are widely admired and crucial to the UK economy, both in terms of our exceptional creative talent and the sector’s growing economic importance. But a culture of long hours, challenging conditions, and sometimes harmful cultures and behaviours can also make it a tough sector to work in, with the retention of talent an ongoing problem as a result. In 2019, the charity found that 9 in 10 working behind the scenes had experienced poor mental health in what was described as a ‘mental health crisis’.  More recently, with a host of factors challenging job security in the sector, the charity has also uncovered a startling lack of financial resilience across the workforce, with financial pressures only contributing to pressure on mental health and wellbeing.

The Film and TV Charity exists to support the 200,000 people who work in TV, film and cinema. Since the introduction of the Film and TV Support Line in 2018, the charity has been on an exciting journey of change and has joined industry partners at the forefront of the movement to make work better for everyone in the industry.

We are pursuing a strategy to improve the wellbeing of everyone working in the industry – mental, financial, and physical – in order to help build a fairer and happier industry for all.  We are doing this through a combination of the direct support we provide to individuals and what we call our work to ‘make change’ at a structural level in the in industry.  We are mainly funded by donations from both corporates and individuals, and successful fundraising is critical to the delivery of our work.

We have committed to ensuring our services are relevant to and engaging with everyone in the industry, at every stage of their career, no matter what their background.  This means applying an equity, diversion and inclusion lens to everything we do.

Role Overview 

Working with the Whole Picture Toolkit’s Digital Product Manager, wider digital roles, and our industry and mental health subject matter experts, you’ll help shape the future product.

The role will evolve as research and testing determine the proportion of new content and features needed in the next version of the Toolkit – ideal for someone looking to develop their product management skills.

The Toolkit is currently in a discovery phase, so the focus of this contract will be on product research, including analytics, user research, competitor research and supporting product scoping, as well as content planning and preparing for production. The role will also lead on maintaining the content and functionality of the current Toolkit.
