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.

WHY JOIN THIS SCHEME?

The Content Creator apprenticeship is designed to equip you with the skills to create engaging, impactful content across a range of platforms.

This hands‑on, immersive programme combines practical workshops, interactive sessions, assignments and collaborative group projects.

WHY JOIN THE TEAM?

We are a team of social media publishers, editors and creators helping users discover not only our national music radio stations (Radio 1, 1Xtra, 2, 3, Asian Network and 6 Music) but also our live music events such as Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Glastonbury and Radio 2 In The Park to name a few. Our wider team covers BBC Sounds app content such as podcasts like Traitors Uncloaked, and live news and sport commentaries like Premier League football. In the London team, your main focus will be on Music networks. If you have a passion for audio this placement could be for you.

YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPACT

As a Content Creator apprentice, this is brilliant opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute – you could expect to:

• 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.

• 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.

Learning blocks will be a mixture of in‑person and virtual delivery, including attending instructor‑led workshops, tutorial sessions, presentations and group work.

For more information on what you will study during the scheme, please see the Content Creator apprenticeship standard.

As part of the programme, you will be required to travel to attend in‑person learning blocks and other apprenticeship‑related activities where necessary.
