Children's InHouse Productions is the award-winning production arm of the UK's foremost kids' broadcaster, BBC Children's. The acclaimed In House unit, with production bases in Salford and Glasgow, produces content across all genres for 0 to 12.

The team will be based in MediaCityUK, however candidates interested in remote working will also be considered for this position.

'JoJo and Gran Gran' follows the life of a four-year old girl called JoJo and her fun and wise grandmother Gran Gran, who looks after her while her parents are working. Mixing beautiful animation with inspiring live action inserts, each episode follows the pair as they fill their day with fun activities and new experiences: from baking St Lucian Banana Bread to searching for Dinosaurs in the local Museum.

The show celebrates the role of modern Grandparents in many kids' lives through core themes of family, community but most importantly, love.
