As a cameraman who's about to retire I can't believe how low the salary is.
Just over a weeks wages for our highest paid player maybe?

Also not sure why one of the job requirements is "good knowledge of football, including all levels of the Football League" when even our owner and CEO don't have that.
Also means they leave in a year or so when their CV looks better.
I think they're just looking for some one fresh out of uni. As some one who did a film degree and managed to get a job and now 3 years later i realise how little technical knowledge i had leaving uni and how much my worked really sucked.
And, just as important, the person doing the job will be making a lot of contacts in the industry if they are smart about it. Charlton may be league 1 but they still appear on tv every week and in all the national newspapers. For somebody starting out who can live at home it would be worth doing the job for free and network for all it's worth.
Expected it sooner if I'm honest.
Notice no retirerement plan is included.
The only realistic way somebody could manage is probably living at home...so that excludes outliers and those leaving care probably, or some kind of hostel or digs arrangement. This is not a 'warm' job offer, and it would probably need to be loaded with perks, or be done by a Charlton fan willing to make a lot of sacrifices.
