Description

Join the BBC as a Production Assistant Apprentice in the Children's & Education Content team. You'll gain hands-on experience across various projects, support high-profile productions, and contribute to content enjoyed by audiences across the UK. You'll work alongside experienced professionals, develop practical skills, and play an active role in bringing creative ideas to life.

As a Production Assistant Apprentice, your key responsibilities and impact will include:

  • Helping to develop ideas and stories by researching content and finding guests and participants.
  • Gaining real-life experience by assisting your team on location, in the studio, or in a TV gallery and helping out on the studio floor.
  • Learning to use technical equipment and specialist software by supporting teams with cameras, sound, lighting, and editing.
  • Creating content for multiple platforms, including social media, under the guidance of experienced professionals.

You'll study for your industry-recognised apprenticeship qualification, 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.

The BBC offers excellent career and professional development, fair pay and flexible benefits, including a competitive salary package, a 35-hour working week, 25 days annual leave, and a defined pension scheme.
