Description

Join the BBC as a Production Assistant Apprentice, working in the Children's & Education department. You'll gain hands-on experience across various projects, support high-profile productions, and contribute to content enjoyed by audiences across the UK.

As a Production Assistant Apprentice, you'll:

  • Help develop ideas and stories by researching content and finding guests and participants.
  • Assist teams on location, in the studio, or in a TV gallery and help out on the studio floor.
  • Learn to use technical equipment and specialist software by supporting teams with cameras, sound, lighting, and editing.
  • Create content for multiple platforms, including social media, under the guidance of experienced professionals.

You'll study for an industry-recognised apprenticeship qualification, learning both on and off the job. This means you'll attend learning blocks (up to a week at a time) with a learning provider, working towards a Level 3 Production Assistant qualification.

The apprenticeship is a fixed-term contract for 13 months, with a salary of £24,650.

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be 18 years old or over by September 2027
  • Have lived in the UK continuously for the last three years prior to the start of the apprenticeship
  • Be legally eligible to work full-time in the UK for the entire duration of the apprenticeship
  • Not currently be enrolled in another apprenticeship programme

If you're passionate about working at the BBC and delivering world-class content, we encourage you to apply.
