BBC Learning English is the award-winning English language teaching arm of BBC World Service. It produces a media rich mix of content for learners of English around the world. Content is produced in all English and bi-lingual form and delivered on various platforms including radio, TV, online and mobile. The department's Development Team now has a need for an additional ELT Producer for 6 months.

Role

You will be working as part of the Development Team to originate research, prepare, produce and present items, packages, interviews, discussions, complete programmes, and features, for radio, the Internet and other media forms. You'll ensure that any programme material for which the post holder is responsible is strongly audience and learner focused, and meets the standards required by the BBC. The post-holder will report to the Editor.

Shift work may be required which could include nights, weekends and public holidays. The post-holder will work primarily for the Development Team, although s/he may be expected to work elsewhere in the Department (e.g. the Multimedia Team)

Requirements

To succeed in this position you'll have significant experience in creating ELT (English Language Teaching) materials, preferably in an international context along with recent and relevant classroom experience as an ELT teacher. Recent and relevant experience as a radio or online producer is essential; online experience is particularly desirable. A good broadcasting voice and a presentation style suitable for modern, fast-moving FM radio is desirable.
