Department

 
BBC Learning, established in 1924, is at the heart of the BBC’s overall aim to inform, educate and entertain. It’s our mission to inspire a life full of learning for all our audiences. As a department we play a central part in meeting the BBC's purpose of promoting education and learning. We co-commission a substantial portfolio of programmes and produce a range of learning resources delivered online, on-air and through face-to-face activities that connect, create and magnify powerful opportunities across the entire BBC to inspire all audiences.  The department is also home to a comprehensive specialist learning offering that includes key brands such as Bitesize, Skillswise, and Class Clips.

Role

 
Joining the Operations team, you will work within a team of Production Co-ordinators to deliver live events, online and broadcast content across the BBC Learning portfolio. You will work closely with Production Managers to provide strong co-ordination across this portfolio.

BBC Learning works in partnership with all other parts of the BBC. Current and recent projects in production include The One Show Live event, Mr Bloom’s ‘Get Set Grow’ events, the Hackney Academy, Your Paintings, Britain in a Day and The Learning Zone. We are also working on the development of Learning’s Online Product which will be the newest of 10 products across the BBC, alongside News, Sport, iPlayer and Radio. This product encompasses all of BBC’s formal and informal learning content offering such as Bitesize, Class Clips, Food and Natural History.

Requirements

 
To be successful in this role it’s important you have strong production management experience across a variety of output and genres, from multi-platform projects, to live events & broadcast production. You will have a first-class knowledge of production management systems and processes and the ability to develop new ones where necessary.
You will have the ability to remain calm, organised and focused under pressure and have excellent influencing, persuading and problem solving skills.  It goes without saying that you will have an interest in learning.
