Description

Join us as a Content Creator apprentice at the BBC to kick-start your career in a job you'll love. We're committed to your skills and talent development. You'll learn on-the-job, developing your knowledge and skills in an area that interests you, whilst working towards your apprenticeship qualification with one of our learning providers.

The Content Creator apprenticeship is designed to equip you with the skills to create engaging, impactful content across a range of platforms. You'll learn how 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, you'll:

  • Play a part in creating trusted, high-quality content for BBC audiences.
  • Grow your storytelling skills through hands-on experience researching, writing, producing and editing content on a range of subjects.
  • Develop your digital content skills by monitoring audience trends and creating content for social media platforms, including selecting and editing clips from programmes for use on social media platforms.
  • 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 (up to a week at a time) with our learning provider, working towards an industry-recognised apprenticeship qualification - Level 3 Content Creator.

We're interested in your passion for working at the BBC and your enthusiasm for delivering world-class content and operational excellence to our audiences. We're not focused on your qualifications; instead, we look for potential and offer you the opportunity to apply your transferable strengths and experience to work in different ways.

If you can bring some of these skills and experiences, along with transferable strengths, we'd love to hear from you and encourage you to apply:

  • Bring fresh, creative ideas for engaging and reaching new audiences.
  • A genuine consumer of content who follows what is happening across platforms like TikTok, YouTube and Instagram.
  • Adaptable and versatile, able to switch between serious, issue-based content and fun, high-energy entertainment.
  • A collaborative team player who is organised, motivated, adaptable and thrives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Passionate about your own self-development, showing the discipline and commitment required to complete the apprenticeship.

Benefits include:

  • Excellent career and professional development.
  • Fair pay and flexible benefits including a competitive salary package, a 35-hour working week, 25 days annual leave, a range of policies to support your work/life balance, a defined pension scheme and discounted dental, health care and gym.
  • An industry-recognised qualification.
  • Industry-leading training through the BBC Academy and our learning providers.
  • A dedicated Team Manager and Scheme Specialist to help with your development.
  • Training and Mentoring by industry professionals.
  • A bespoke BBC apprenticeship experience including apprenticeship development days and membership of the BBC Apprenticeship community.
  • Employability and networking training and support to help you secure your next role.
