Script supervisor for hire in the UK
The script supervisor guards continuity — tracking takes, timing and matching action so the footage cuts together in the edit.
Are you a script supervisor? Get listed and take work near you
Post the role, your postcode and your rate. The nearest script supervisor is asked first — within 19 miles, or further for anyone who has said they travel — and if they pass it moves to the next nearest. Nothing is charged unless someone accepts.
Be the first script supervisor here
No script supervisor has published a profile yet — the crew side is new. Post your request anyway: it pings everyone online nearby, and if you work as a script supervisor, set up your profile to be the first listed.
What a script supervisor does on a shoot
- Tracks continuity through the day — action, props, wardrobe, eyelines and screen direction.
- Logs every take with timings and notes on what is usable.
- Hands the editor a report saying what was covered and what is missing before the unit moves on.
How hiring a script supervisor works

Post the role
Say you need a script supervisor, where the shoot is, the dates and the rate you're offering.

The nearest is asked first
The closest script supervisor gets it alone, and it widens to the next nearest every 60 seconds until someone accepts.

First to accept takes it
The job locks to them, you swap details, and you rate each other afterwards.
Hiring a script supervisor
- Do I still need a script supervisor if we are shooting digitally?
- Yes. Unlimited takes make continuity harder, not easier, and the person who notices the glass moved between setups saves you a reshoot. Cards do not.
- What do they need from production?
- The current script, the schedule, and a seat with a view of the monitor. Send the script in advance — most of the work happens before the shoot day.
