Join the BBC as a Content Creator apprentice and kick-start your career in a job you'll love. You'll learn on-the-job, developing your knowledge and skills in creating engaging, impactful content across various platforms.

The Content Creator apprenticeship is designed to equip you with the skills to plan and develop creative ideas, research target audiences, and produce audio, visual, and written content suitable for different channels.

As a Content Creator apprentice at BBC Radio Sheffield, you'll play a part in creating trusted, high-quality content for BBC audiences. You'll grow your storytelling skills through hands-on experience researching, writing, producing, and editing content on a range of subjects.

Key responsibilities and impact:

  • Create trusted, high-quality content for BBC audiences

  • Spot opportunities for digital content, including short clips, behind-the-scenes moments, interviews, and talent-led extras
  • Learn from experienced professionals, collaborate with expert teams, and develop your career at the world's largest public service broadcaster

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 with our learning provider.

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.

As an apprentice, you'll receive:

  • Be legally eligible to work full-time in the UK for the entire duration of the apprenticeship
