PURPOSE OF THE ROLE
BBC Children's and Education are looking for an Assistant Producer to join a team taking BBC Bitesize on the road to deliver careers advice and inspiration to 110,000 secondary school pupils. The tour will take place in schools across the UK and deliver 4 x hour long sessions in each school, hosted by BBC Talent, and will feature a panel of inspiring guests from a variety of industries who will change perceptions, inspire ambition and celebrate aspiration.


WHY JOIN THE TEAM
BBC Children's and Education is committed to offering the best cross-platform and on-demand service for all UK children, providing a trusted environment which is enriching, enabling and relevant to the under 16's and their parents and carers. Our content seeks to entertain, inform and empower children, adults and teachers, adding real value to their lives. The Bitesize Careers Tour plays a huge role in ensuring young people feel connected to our brands and that they feel inspired to achieve their dreams.


YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPACT:
- The Assistant Producer will work closely with the Producer and wider team to inspire and educate the audience while complementing and promoting the Bitesize brand and enhancing the reputation, reach and impact of BBC Education.
- Help devise and deliver content for secondary school audiences.
- Ensure editorial standards are met, production values kept high and that safeguarding procedures are followed.
- Working closely with our partners at the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, you will ensure all content is of a first class standard: thoroughly researched and accurate, aligning with audience needs and expectations and in line with the departmental ambition of inspiring a life full of learning.
- You will work closely with our office team to ensure all parties have the relevant information, detail and deliverables for each event.

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• An interest in creating and delivering engaging educational content and events that inspire young audiences and meet learning objectives
• Demonstrate creativity in designing innovative activities tailored to secondary school students, with strong awareness of relevant TV, film, and talent
• Champion diversity and effectively engage under-served audiences
• Build and manage relationships with external partners (schools, educators, businesses) with strong communication skills
• Bring Assistant Producer–level experience, including applying BBC policies, planning, meeting deadlines, and leading collaborative teams
Please note this project will involve working on location across the UK and you will spend the majority of time working away from home. Please note also, this role requires a relevant DBS check to be undertaken by the BBC at the appropriate level, at the point of offer of a contract of employment.


DESIRED BUT NOT REQUIRED:
- This role will require a lot of travel and working away from home. Therefore, a full and clean UK driving licence is desirable.
