Whisper production disabled talent recruitment

Whisper is to hold a recruitment event for disabled talent on 1 February 2023.

The production company will be producing Channel 4’s coverage of the Paris 2024 Paralympics, and also works in other sports such as F1, also for Channel 4, cricket with Cricket West Indies and Ben Stokes: Phoenix From the Ashes, the women’s Euros for the BBC, and more.

There are openings for talent with prior experience and those without, and those who want to be considered can send a CV with an explanation of why they think they should be considered to getinvolved@whisper.tv by 10 January. 

Whisper has committed to increasing representation of disabled talent - with its proportion growing from 16% to 18% between the Tokyo 2020 Summer Paralympics and Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics.

Whisper MD Mark Cole said: “We’re in the process of building our Paralympics team, drawing on our exceptional in-house talent along with new hires. While we’re focused on the upcoming Paralympics, many of the positions we’re recruiting for will go beyond the Paralympics and include other exciting projects that Whisper’s involved with, such as women’s football, F1, tennis and international cricket.”

Whisper recently announced the hire of gold medal-winning Paralympian Liz Johnson as an executive producer.
