As a Junior Journalist Apprentice, this is brilliant opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute – you will:
Work alongside news and current affairs teams to develop your journalistic skills creating and delivering quality content for the BBC.
Get involved with all newsroom activities, such as sourcing and securing compelling contributors or guests, writing briefs for your team, or shooting and editing films.
Find and create stories for diverse audiences - including coming up with new ideas, carrying out in-depth research and assisting with interviews.
Learn from and work with experts in the field at the largest public service broadcaster in the world.



Training:

You’ll study for an industry recognised apprenticeship qualification, learning both on and off the job.
