WHY JOIN THE TEAM?

BBC Film is a leading force in British independent cinema, supporting around 10-12 feature films each year alongside a strong development slate. Working with UK and international distributors, we create ambitious, distinctive British films and are committed to discovering and developing new talent while collaborating with acclaimed writers and directors. Recent productions include debut features such as Pillion, My Father's Shadow, On Falling as well as His House, Rye Lane, and Aftersun, alongside films from established filmmakers including I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning, One Life, starring Anthony Hopkins, and international productions like Sentimental Value, and Triangle of Sadness.

As a Production Assistant Apprentice at the BBC, you'll gain hands-on experience across a range of projects, from supporting high-profile productions to contributing to content enjoyed by audiences across the UK.

As a Production Assistant Apprentice within BBC Film, this is a brilliant opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute. You could be:
