This is an exciting opportunity for Researchers.

BBC Studios is a global creative powerhouse for the development, production and distribution of bold, British, content. We produce over 2,500 hours of content per year, operate in 22 markets globally and generate revenue of £1.4bn, returning around £200m profit to BBC Public Service each year.

We are looking for a pool of Researchers to join BBC Studios and work across productions. Our pool of successful candidates will enable you to be offered work as and when those opportunities arise during peak periods.

The successful candidate will regularly go on location for recces and filming and must be prepared to be away for 2 nights at a time throughout the year.
