COULD A BBC APPRENTICESHIP BE THE NEXT ROLE FOR YOU?

Join us as an apprentice at the BBC to give yourself the opportunity to kick‑start your career in a job you’ll love. We’re committed to your skills and talent development. You’ll learn on‑the‑job, developing your knowledge and skills in an area that interests you, while working towards your apprenticeship qualification with one of our learning providers.

WHY JOIN THIS SCHEME?

Behind every great programme and team at the BBC is a trusted Human Resources (HR) Support network making sure staff are looked after, heard, and set up to do their best work. As a HR Support apprentice, you’ll play a crucial role in the BBC, gaining the skills to build a rewarding career in people management. If you’re a people‑person with a genuine interest in supporting others and making the BBC a safe, fulfilling place to work, the HR Support Level 3 apprenticeship is for you!

WHY JOIN THE TEAM?

BBC Studios HR Operations team: The BBC Studios HR Operations team plays a vital role in delivering core HR services, supporting employees, managers, and the wider HR team across every stage of the employee lifecycle. We manage the BBC Studios intranet and People systems, and through a strong focus on continuous improvement, we aim to simplify processes, enhance efficiency, and elevate the overall employee experience across the organisation.

Performance, Leadership & Capability Team: The Performance, Capability and Leadership team drives delivery of strategic priorities by fostering a strong performance culture and high‑performing teams. They establish effective goals, performance management, and reward structures, while embedding leadership behaviours and organisational development principles. The teams ensure the business has the right skills and talent for future needs, support succession planning, and design development programmes that strengthen both organisational capability and individual growth across the business.

YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPACT

• Work alongside a dedicated HR team within the BBC, learning the ins and outs of their processes
• Provide support to colleagues and contribute to making the BBC a great place to work
• Assist with day‑to‑day HR tasks, which will vary depending on the team you are placed into
• Develop strong communication and organisation skills, which will set you up perfectly for a career in HR, or allow you to take these transferable skills to another area!

You’ll study for your industry recognised apprenticeship qualification, learning both on and off the job. This means you’ll spend at least one day a week studying for a Level 3 Human Resources Support apprenticeship with our learning provider, using its virtual delivery platform.
