If you're passionate about character-based storytelling, enjoy working collaboratively, and are interested in working on Aotearoa’s biggest show - Shortland Street - your time is nigh!
This is a highly collaborative role, with the story lining process requiring writers to work with a large group of people, as well as independently when drafting scripts. They're on the hunt for people who can write both comedy and drama, but most importantly, who love the show.
This is a full time, in-house role, so writers must be based in Auckland for the duration of their contract. Experience working on TV/Film story tables or scriptwriting is preferred, but not essential for the right candidate.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please send a short introductory email to:
scripts@shortlandstreet.co.nz by March 1st 2026.
The team will then send you a trial writing kit to be completed as the first stage of the process.
