About the BBC
Our culture at the BBC
The BBC aims to be the most creative, trusted broadcaster and programme maker in the world. Building on the six basic values below, we're creating an environment that's friendly, welcoming and open to change.
Our hours are varied and our dress code relaxed. It is a million miles away from the standard nine-to-five. Having said that, we are serious about what we do and we would expect you to be too.
Our values are:
Our Values
Values are the standards which people across the BBC share. They represent the things we cherish and aspire to; they guide our day to day decisions and shape our individual and collective behaviour.
- Trust: trust is the foundation of the BBC, we are independent, impartial and honest
- Audiences: audiences are at the heart of everything we do
- Quality: we take pride in delivering quality and value for money
- Creativity: creativity is the lifeblood of our organisation
- Respect: we respect each other and celebrate our diversity so that everyone can give their best
- Collaboration: great things happen when we work together
Diversity
The BBC aims to be a true reflection of the nations and regions we serve, both in terms of output and employment. We are working hard to create the kind of working environment and culture that recognises and values people's differences. And we'll achieve this by attracting, recruiting and developing the most creative and talented people from every section of the community.
The ManageAble Scheme welcomes applications from disabled people with relevant experience in terms of employment and training.
We are committed to making reasonable adjustments wherever necessary. We have our own BBC Disability Access Service that provides assessments and support for disabled people throughout the recruitment process and during their employment with us.
And we regularly audit our systems and buildings to ensure accessibility for all staff and visitors with disabilities.
