WHY JOIN THE TEAM?
YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPACT
As a Level 2 Administration (ADA27) Assistant apprentice , this is a brilliant opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute – you will:
- Work directly in a BBC team and pull back the curtain on the world’s leading public service broadcaster.
- Provide critical administrative support that keeps the heart of the team beating.
- Keep the team on track and ensure deadlines are met, working at pace to solve problems on the job.
- Communicate with colleagues across departments, building relationships and networks.
- Learn the systems, processes and skills that keep a major global organisation running smoothly.
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 2 Administration Assistant apprenticeship with our learning provider, using its virtual delivery platform.
For more information on what you will study during the scheme, please see the Administration Assistant standard.
YOUR SKILLS AND ELIGIBILITY
We’re interested in your passion for working at the BBC and your enthusiasm for delivering world-class content and operational excellence to our audiences. We’re not focused on your qualifications; instead, we look for potential and offer you the opportunity to apply your transferable strengths and experience to work in different ways.
If you can bring some of these skills and experiences, along with transferable strengths, we’d love to hear from you and encourage you to apply:
- Collaboration – we want to hear about your ability to work well with others and stakeholders across the organisation, to reach a common goal.
- Organisation – Hopefully you have a sharp eye for detail and are able to keep your team’s work organised/running efficiently to meet tight deadlines.
- Adaptability – We’re looking for candidates with an ability to adapt to changing circumstances and working in uncertain situations.
- Motivation for the BBC – We’re keen to hear about why you want to work at the BBC specifically, and your motivation around pursuing a role in the broadcasting industry.
The Administration Assistant Level 2 apprenticeship is designed to help individuals build the essential skills, confidence and knowledge needed to succeed in an entry-level administration or business support role. The scheme is therefore not suitable for anyone who has significant qualifications or experience in administration or business support roles.
As part of our commitment to building a workforce that reflects all of the audiences we serve, we want to open up more routes into the BBC for people at the very start of their working lives, a group that is currently under-represented across our teams. This scheme is one of the ways we are doing that.
Due to the apprenticeship funding requirements for this scheme, you must be aged between 18 - 24 when this apprenticeship starts. If you are not aged 18 to 24 on 7th September 2027 you are not eligible for this scheme, however we would encourage you to consider other apprenticeships or applying for other vacancies via the BBC careers site.

- Have lived in the UK continuously for the last 3 years prior to the start of the apprenticeship
- Be legally eligible to work full-time in the UK for the entire duration of the apprenticeship
- Not currently be enrolled in another apprenticeship programme, whether with the BBC or another organisation
- Not be working towards or already hold a qualification in the same subject area at the same or a higher level than this apprenticeship.
To apply for this scheme, you must also:

The BBC recognises that you may need to relocate to a new location to take up a BBC Apprenticeship scheme. The cost of relocating can be a barrier for some applicants and where that is a barrier to participation, we want to help where we can. To help ensure our apprenticeship opportunities are accessible to people from a wide range of backgrounds, a limited number of relocation support awards are available each year for those who meet our financial eligibility criteria. Relocation financial support is available for this role, subject to meeting the financial eligibility criteria. Further information will be shared with applicants during the recruitment process. Details on the wider support, initiatives and networks available at the BBC can be found on our careers site.
This is a fixed-term apprenticeship - your contract lasts for the duration of the scheme. Once you have completed your apprenticeship, you will be able to apply for any suitable open vacancies at the BBC or outside in the wider creative industry. You’ll be supported with career development, employability training, and networking opportunities to help you take your next step.
For apprenticeship opportunities, disabled applicants who choose to apply under the Disability Confident Scheme and who meet the minimum criteria for the role will normally be progressed to the next stage of the recruitment process. For most of our campaigns, this would be an online assessment designed to assess your skills, motivations and suitability for the role. Further details can be found in the FAQs section of our careers site.
