## 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 lasts for 13 months, and you'll be paid £24,650 per year.

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 under 19 years old on 7 September 2027, you'll need to have achieved Maths and English GCSE at Grade 4/C or above or National 5 (Scotland) at C or Functional Skills Level 2 or equivalent qualification.
