Job Introduction
For a century, the BBC has been synonymous with covering the biggest sporting events and reporting on the stories that matter. From World Cups to the Olympics and everything in between, our teams produce world-class content on TV, radio and digital for bigger audiences numbers than anyone else, every single day. We have an exciting opportunity to join our Talent Pool and are looking for Assistant Producers with strong self-shooting skills who are passionate about Sport.

Are you the right candidate?
You will have a genuine and demonstrable enthusiasm and interest in sport, the stories and personalities within it, and the ability to identify key ideas, debates and issues within a range of sports. Our freelancers need to have the ability to self-shoot with a strong understanding of what content works well on different platforms. You will be confident producing shoots on location and have a good understanding of the editorial and production requirements of setting up a shoot. You’ll be bursting with creative ideas and treatments that reflect the wide audience the BBC needs to reach.
