Glasgow-based Jess Kelly began their screen career as an AD before retraining as a Script Editor in 2025.

With support from ScreenSkills HETV Skills Fund, Jess made the transition into a new department through two Fund-supported placements on Half Man and Vigil S3, gaining hands-on experience and building their skills and confidence.

“ScreenSkills has been hugely influential to my development. They supported me as I transitioned departments mid-career and were fundamental in providing opportunities to support my growth, such as providing placements and additional bursaries to cover equipment and training costs.”

Jess also received a ScreenSkills bursary to support training with John Yorke Story and the cost of Final Draft software.

“My experience on my ScreenSkills placements were wholly positive. I was able to get stuck in and learn from doing - whether it was storylining with writers or leading script distribution - this provided the perfect training ground to build up skills and confidence.”

Jess is now looking to build on that experience as an Assistant Script Editor or Script Editor on a HETV production.

“Without ScreenSkills it is very unlikely I would have been able to retrain, and now thanks to their support I see a different future for myself.”

The HETV Skills Fund works with industry to support training and opportunities that help crew develop new skills, gain experience and progress their careers.
