Join us as a Production apprentice at the BBC to give yourself the opportunity 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, while working towards your apprenticeship qualification with one of our learning providers.

This is your chance to launch a career at the very heart of British broadcasting. We’re looking for individuals with a passion to find out how we make content and bring ideas to life. Depending on your placement area, you could be working behind the scenes on exciting productions, from gripping dramas to the thrill of live radio, and gain a recognised qualification while learning on the job.

This is your opportunity to widen your production knowledge while working on content that matters to millions.

To find out more about the schemes we offer, you can register to join one of our webinars here.
Please note that the webinar for this scheme takes place on Wednesday 10th December at 6pm. If you're unable to attend or have seen this after that date, keep an eye on our webinar playlist on You Tube here where the video will be uploaded.

Our team creates radio, TV, online and digital output for BBC Scotland. You could be working on exciting productions in Music, Entertainment & Events, Sport, The Impact Team, and Radio Scotland Speech and Topical programmes.

As a Production apprentice, this is a brilliant opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute – you could be:

• Working as a Runner within the office, in studio or on location
• Communicating with a wide variety of internal and external colleagues and guests
• Editing radio packages
• Researching for stories, locations and/or props
• Completing music clearances

You’ll be learning both on and off the job. This means that as well as learning on your placement at the BBC, you’ll also attend regular meetings (either in‑person or virtual) with our learning provider, working towards an industry recognised, SCQF7 in Creative Media.

• An interest in multiplatform content making
