The BBC is more than one of world’s largest television and radio broadcasters. We are also an industry leader in providing our audiences with the technology they need to have more choice and control over what, when and how they absorb content. This cutting-edge group is responsible for delivering the BBC iPlayer (online and on TV), the BBC News site, BBC Weather site, BBC Children's games on TV and online, the Red Button, the BBC Wildlife finder, BBC Lab UK and the BBC Radio 1 Chart, to name just a few.
The BBC Digital Media Graduate Scheme supports the development of the very best aspiring Developers, allowing individuals who can demonstrate a true passion and aptitude for this field the opportunity to help us shape the future digital media landscape of the UK.
About the scheme
A BBC Digital Media graduate can expect to experience four completely different Developer roles during their time on the scheme. We prepare all graduates to leave the scheme as fully-fledged Developers. We offer world class training to all staff, ranging from technical skills to developing personal effectiveness. All designed to propel forward you in your career. In addition, you will learn significant amounts by working directly on well known BBC products and receiving ‘buddy’ support from more experienced Developers and Engineers.
Programme structure
This two year programme is structured as four, six month rotations with salary reviews and promotion opportunities explored at the end of each year subject for successful performance. Our Graduate’s this year have taken on exciting placement in teams including London 2012 and the team who provide the online games for CBBC and CBeebies.
Example rotation
6 months assisting with the development of a brand new weather mobile app.
6 months supporting the iPlayer team with the development of the next version.
6 months leading a small project to design and deliver an interactive children’s TV application.
6 months developing the background technology which enables journalists to upload videos onto the bbc.co.uk site at the click of a button.
About you
We thrive on ideas, innovation and creating world-renowned digital services that work in ways that delight our audiences.
If you share our passion for engaging with the latest technologies we are looking for enthusiastic, creative graduates with great attention to detail to join us in defining and delivering the next generation of digital media experiences for the BBC.
Working with digital technology will mean more to you than just study or work; it will be something you love, live and breathe. As a result you will have experience of working on open source projects or developing your own software. You will also have a passion for development craftsmanship, get excited by the latest advances in the world of software engineering or web development and embrace new technology as it evolves. More than that though, your creativity and curiosity mean you want to play a critical role in building technology of the future.
You’ll be passionate about serving BBC audiences by delivering BBC content in new, engaging and innovative ways. You’ll also have a desire to pursue professional development and build a successful software engineering or web development career in the digital media industry.
Typical experience could be involvement in communities, being a moderator on a usergroup or forum, taking part in conferences or being an owner of a software development project.
You’ll already have, or will be predicted to receive, a minimum of a 2:1 in a relevant degree.
