Hollyoaks is on the lookout for fans to work backstage as part of a new internship scheme.
Lime Pictures, the production company behind the Channel 4 soap, has announced the launch of an annual in-house intern initiative, Lime Interns, after its success last year.
The scheme will give nine successful candidates the chance to work behind the scenes within its Liverpool production base over nine months of paid work experience.

“Our intern programme delivers meaningful on the job training that enables the successful candidates to acquire knowledge and experience in their chosen specialist area as well as allowing them to develop a broader understanding of the wide range of roles and responsibilities within TV.

“The interns will be paid throughout their nine months and at the end of their time with Lime we fully expect them to be able to successfully apply for entry level positions across the sector.”
The advert states Lime Interns will gain a “broad understanding” of production, and will also be able to gain experience in their “chosen area of production”, such as Scenic Design, Visual effects, Costume, Make Up, Scheduling, Music, Camera, Sound and Story.
The Lime Interns scheme is reopening with 9 paid placements across production at our @Hollyoaks studio base in Liverpool.
