HAMILTON HODELL

Seeking an Assistant to join the team of one of top talent agents in the UK.  The job is hugely rewarding and exciting.   It is also time-intensive and demanding, requiring total commitment.

Candidates must have 1-2 years of experience and a comprehensive understanding of the British entertainment industry: Studios, Production Companies, Broadcasters, Streamers, Theatres (West End, Subsidised and Regional).  They must be well aware of the creative personnel we work with: executives, producers, casting directors, publicists.   And they should have a good grasp of the UK talent pool, our actors, writers and directors.

Above all, they need to passionately love film/television/theatre and have a great respect for talent. The desire to work with and nurture talent must be a vocational imperative.  

We seek candidates who are articulate, well read, immersed in film/TV/theatre, display initiative, strong social skills and who are both ambitious and collegial.  They should be kind, attentive, hardworking, intuitive, committed and natural problem solvers.   Grace under pressure and discretion essential. A sense of humour is helpful.

Our in-house “brand” is To be London’s pre-eminent talent agency, nurturing and cultivating the greatest storytellers and creators of their generation, and we aim to deliver this at the highest level in a warm, professional, efficient and respectful manner.  We have built the team carefully to create a friendly, familial environment and all our agents have all been promoted from within the company starting from the ground up — as assistants, receptionists and interns.  Including our CEO and partners.

Our staff turnover is extremely low due to job satisfaction and generous compensation.  The candidate would be considered on merit for advancement in the company based on performance and other criteria.

The job would include direct contact with acting clients, assisting our CEO in his professional and personal responsibilities, interacting with other agents and associates on the team, and in time, negotiating for clients, attending performances, reading scripts, advising on opportunities, handling all logistical talent needs, arranging work permits, diary managements for CEO and talent, and in general ensuring that problems are resolved as soon as possible and in the most professional manner.

​Please ​send your CV and covering letter to: vacancy@hamiltonhodell.co.uk with the subject line ​’Assistant​’.   Deadline for submissions by 6pm on Friday 15th February.
