Are you an experienced and social-savvy assistant producer with a passion for turning content into creative, impactful and innovative posts?
BBC Studios Drama Productions sits at the heart of the UK as our slate of award-winning soaps and dramas continue to bring audiences together week after week. EastEnders, Casualty, River City and Pobol y Cwm remain a constant source of gripping entertainment, with addictive storylines and loveable characters year on year; as well as award-winning crime drama Silent Witness and our fabulous cosy crime shows Father Brown, and Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Detectives.
At BBC Studios Drama Productions, we’re passionate about developing and nurturing a creative and diverse workforce. We pride ourselves on providing some of the most supportive, hands-on editorial and production training opportunities across the whole of the UK.

You will be required to pitch your own ideas around stories and successfully tap into what our audience wants to consume, so a keen interest in Drama, especially EastEnders is very beneficial.
The successful candidate will need to be able to work quickly and under pressure, often moving from idea generation to final design in the space of an hour or two, with a requirement on occasion to work within a team on the larger digital commissions, such as EastEnders Revealed.
