So who are we looking for?

The BBC need people who reflect the diversity of the UK so we can create fantastic programmes and services for our many audiences. www.bbc.co.uk/careers/why-join-us/diversity

We are more concerned with your talent, potential and passion to achieve great things with us than with your academic background.

You will already be a good writer with the potential to be even better. Maybe you've demonstrated this through student magazines, community or hospital radio, blogging, or work experience at a local newspaper?

You'll need to be able to write quickly but accurately. An eye for an arresting image would also be an advantage - our TV programmes and websites thrive on great pictures.

We have a team dedicated to supporting staff with visual, hearing, mobility and other disabilities to play a full part in making the BBC the most creative organisation in the world.
