BBC Scotland Operations is looking for a motivated individual to join our Gaelic teams in Stornoway and be trained as a Technical Operator specialising in radio.

BBC Scotland Operations provides expert technical support and production skills for a wide range of radio programmes and live broadcasts across Scotland. From daily news and current affairs to music, cultural programming, and major live events, our teams help bring BBC Scotland’s distinctive radio content to audiences across the country and beyond.

Based in BBC Stornoway, this is a unique opportunity to develop your skills through specialised training and hands‑on experience. You’ll play a key role in supporting BBC Radio nan Gàidheal output from the Western Isles, contributing to this vital Gaelic radio service.

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

• Sound:
  Learn how to capture, mix, and deliver clear, high‑quality audio for live and pre‑recorded radio programmes.
• Studio Operations:
  Operate broadcast equipment, manage studio set‑ups, and ensure smooth technical delivery during live output.
• Outside Broadcasts:
  Support live radio coverage from locations across the Western Isles and mainland Scotland, helping bring events to air.

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, SCQF 7 in Creative Media.
