Job Introduction
BBC Education exists to transform lives through education. That clear vision drives everything we do as we lead the overall education strategy for the BBC. During the school closures of summer 2020, we have seen unprecedented reach and appreciation for our digital and broadcast content, and we are seeking to build on this success with new resources to support the planned return to schools.

Our aims are to:

· Provide every child in the UK with a personalised learning experience through BBC Bitesize.

· Support and inspire classroom learning with world-class, curriculum-linked programming; through BBC Teach.

· Address societal and educational deficits within the UK through campaigns, such as BBC Super Movers and BBC Tiny Happy People.

BBC Teach provides the UK's teachers with thousands of short-form Class Clips to help them deliver the curriculum, along with Live Lessons streamed into classrooms, featuring leading BBC talent and some our best TV brands. BBC Teach is also home to campaigns such as Young Reporter and Super Movers.

BBC Teach are commissioning a series of films, including content about British Asian history which will feature adults and children of South Asian, East Asian and South-East Asian ancestry. The films will explore and celebrate the contribution of these communities through time to British culture and society, and to our economy, as well as exploring the different factors that led people of Asian ancestry to move to and settle in the UK. We want to be sure the films reflect a wide, representative and authentic range of stories and experiences, and as such, we welcome applications from candidates within the British Asian community, particularly those of South Asian, East Asian or South-East Asian ancestry.

Main Responsibilities
BBC Teach is looking for an Assistant Producer to support with short form video commissioning and digital content publishing. The Assistant Producer will support with reviews of casting, scripts and rough cuts, as well as with publishing final delivered content and supporting resources to the BBC Teach website.

You will need a good editorial eye: an understanding of the needs of teachers and students in the classroom but also the practicalities of video production. Previous experience with web systems would also be valuable as the role will involve publishing and editing pages via a content management system. An eye for detail and consistency is really important, including the ability to write concisely and accurately for online. Experience in using core web production tools, particularly Photoshop, is essential.

Are you the right candidate?
For this role, you will need:-

· Experience of producing or commissioning educational content, ideally for the classroom and/or young audiences.

· Experience with web content management systems.

· Experience of editing and publishing written content online.

· Core web production skills, particularly Photoshop.

Please note: this role requires a relevant DBS check to be undertaken by the BBC at the appropriate level, at the point of offer of a contract of employment.
