At Secret Compass, we specialise in risk management for TV and film, helping productions operate safely in some of the world’s most challenging environments. Our expertise spans natural history, drama, reality TV, factual entertainment, and breaking news, ensuring crews can work efficiently in remote, complex or high-risk locations.
From guiding Will Smith through a cave dive in Namibia for Welcome to Earth to assisting Chris Hemsworth in a rope climb to a cable car in Limitless, we thrive on enabling extraordinary projects.
Why Join Secret Compass?
We are a dynamic, solutions-focused team that thrives on problem-solving, adaptability, and collaboration. No two projects are the same, making our work both challenging and rewarding. If you’re highly organised, calm under pressure, and ready to take on unique challenges, you’ll fit right in.
Interesting and ever-stimulating work done alongside inspiring colleagues. When people I’ve only just met ask me what I do for a living they light up with questions, and are fascinated that this is a job that actually exists!

Life at Secret Compass
Our South Bristol office is home to a team of outdoor enthusiasts and adventure-lovers, who work hard to support productions worldwide. Whether it’s climbing, cycling, horse riding, or hiking, our passion for exploration extends beyond our work.
We value team spirit, which is why our annual outings have included everything from coasteering and paddleboarding to mountain biking—and even a circus skills day!
We work with a variety of talented people, get to peek behind the curtain of TV and travel the world everyday (even if most of the time it’s from behind a desk!).

No two days are the same; one day you’ll be researching venomous snakes in the Amazon, and the next you’ll be working out how evacuate someone from Antarctica! If you have a curious mind and love to problem solve, you’ll thrive as part of our team!
We’re a fun bunch of people from all walks of life and we do some pretty epic socials too… Swinging from the ceiling of our warehouse into a suspended Iberico ham pretty much tops it as the whackiest thing I’ve ever done at a work social!
