This is your chance to launch a career at the very heart of British broadcasting. We're looking for individuals with a passion to find out how we make content and bring ideas to life. Depending on your placement area, you could be working behind the scenes on exciting productions, from gripping dramas to the thrill of live radio, and gain a recognised qualification while learning on the job.

You’ll get a chance to work across a variety of content, which could involve occasional early mornings, evenings and weekends. You’ll be learning both on and off the job. This means that as well as learning on your placement at the BBC, you’ll also attend learning blocks (up to a week at a time) with our learning provider, working towards an industry recognised apprenticeship qualification - Level 3 Production Assistant.  Learning blocks will be a mixture of in-person and virtual delivery.
