Forward Planning Researcher

Glasgow

Saturday Mash Up! is back for 2025. Part of the BBC Studios Kids & Family business, Saturday Mash Up! is exploding with gunge, games and giddiness, and designed to appeal to a CBBC audience aged 6-12 years old.

In BBC Studios Kids & Family we're as passionate about our shows as our audience; creating and sourcing inspiring stories that deliver our mission to play a vital part in kids' lives.

We champion content that nurtures our audience's curiosity, creativity, energy and inclusivity; helping kids thrive and creating hit shows that will become future nostalgia.

Saturday Mash Up is no exception and delivers a wide variety of content, guests, games and energy within a live weekly show.

Saturday Mash Up Studio Team
Saturday Mash Up is filmed LIVE, weekly. The studio team set up and organise guests, items, games, props and briefing notes, making sure all is in place for Friday rehearsal, and of course, when we go LIVE Saturday morning.

On studio days we have a 5:30am call time. The Studio team own the content for the day and support on the floor, brief guests and make sure everything runs to plan.

These roles are fast paced and would suit people with previous studio experience. There is a lot of thinking creatively, reacting to last minute change and delivering against tight deadlines. But also a lot of fun!!

Working alongside the FWD Planning AP and Producer, the Fwd Planning Researcher is responsible for scheduling and sourcing guests for the weekly show.

We're looking for an experienced Researcher who is confident communicator and has experience of working with talent and/or contributors, and enjoys coming up with ideas.

Previous studio experience isn't required for this role.

The Forward Planning Researcher isn't required in studio apart from the pre-records which happen twice in the run. The working week is Mon-Fri including some location work
