ITV Green Room 

Thank you for your interest in joining The ITV Green Room - a new initiative to support people between jobs. 


ITV and the Film and TV Charity are working together to understand ways in which we can help people during the time they’re not in work,  to give people connection and purpose. This collaboration comes off the back of Charity’s latest Looking Glass report and recommendations made in other research from the Charity and its partners.

 

We’re looking for 20 people to take part in our first pilot, kicking off in January at ITV’s White City office in London. 

 

The application will take around 10 minutes to complete and will include a series of questions to help us determine your goals in applying for the programme. We will use this information to select a group of participants whose goals are compatible with the aims and objectives of the programme. 

 

ITV will only hold your contact information to communicate with you about your application and, for those who are successful, about the programme itself.


Deadline for applications: Monday 5th January 2026, 11:59pm.

 

A full list of FAQs can be found here , but before you start here is a quick reminder of what you need to know:
