Department

BBC Cymru Wales’ Interactive and Learning department creates interactive content and learning resources across online, mobile and interactive TV platforms. This includes sites for programmes like Sherlock, Doctor Who and Crimewatch and standalone services such as bbc.co.uk/wales, subjects for BBC Bitesize and in the coming months BBC Consumer.

BBC Consumer is part of BBC Knowledge and Learning (K&L), working closely with BBC consumer programmes and other K&L teams to produce and curate rich cross-genre learning journeys.
BBC Consumer will empower our audience to improve the way they spend their time and money. We aim to be accessible and relevant to everyone providing practical life skills and tips for everyday situations. We will be light, conversational and entertaining, free of financial jargon or heavy analysis.

Role

We are looking for an Assistant Producer with excellent editorial and content making skills to source, originate and curate compelling consumer and lifestyle content. Working to the Producer (BBC Consumer), this post will drive the day-to-day curation of our consumer content, ensuring we make the best, timely usage of consumer output from across BBC TV and Radio.

You’ll originate and contribute to the development and production of high quality, compelling multimedia features and learning initiatives. You’ll lead on specific content-related tasks, including contributing to the day-to-day maintenance and live update during TX of BBC Crimewatch’s programme pages. 

Requirements

You’ll have strong editorial skills, either from journalism or other factual production with the ability to spot a story and turn it into engaging and accessible content. You’ll have experience of TV or online, ideally both, and be able to grasp the different challenges they present. You’ll have a clear understanding of the Consumer genre and the audience’s needs, with the ability to translate these into imaginative and compelling content ideas.

You’ll also demonstrate highly effective planning and organising skills with the ability to concentrate on several areas of work at one time, prioritising, delivering consistently to deadlines and reacting positively to changes and conflicting priorities.
