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‑16s and their parents and carers.

• 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.

• An interest in creating and delivering engaging educational content and events that inspire young audiences and meet learning objectives.
