From the World Cup to the Olympics, whether it’s Premier League football, 6 Nations Rugby, International Cricket or the top Tennis tournaments, BBC Sport is at the heart of the world’s major sporting events.

We are looking to recruit a Production Coordinator to work as one of our planning PCs on the Cricket during the Summer of 2023. This involves working across TV Live output, TV and Digital Highlights output, Radio output and Digital reporting, including social media teams. This is a busy role and will be suitable for someone with strong organisational skills and who is detail oriented.

The successful candidate will provide logistical and coordination support to the production team on one or more productions and platforms, ensuring delivery on time and within budget.

Reporting to a Production Manager, you'll work in partnership with editorial colleagues to deliver the outstanding, distinctive, multi-platform content that BBC Sport is renowned for, by providing creative ways to realise editorial ambitions within operational and financial constraints.

To apply for this job you must have a disability (hidden or visible) or neurodiversity recognised by the Equality Act 2010: “A person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment, and the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. This definition includes impairments or medical conditions such as Cancer, HIV or MS.”

We are committed to making the process of applying for this role right for you as an individual, so we have both the BBC Extend team to manage the recruitment process and also our own dedicated BBC Disability Access Service that provides assessments and support throughout recruitment and during your employment with us.

Workplace adjustments to accommodate any disability or neurodiversity will be made on an individual basis.

Please visit Extend - Careers (bbc.com) for a further information on Extend and the support available.

You will have demonstrable working knowledge of end-to-end production processes and experience of delivering a range of Productions often with complex logistical requirements.

You'll have good project management and planning skills with the ability to deliver projects to budget.

You’ll be comfortable with multiple different requests at one time, have the ability to prioritise requests and show resilience in fast changing situations. You will be able to use your own initiative but know when to refer up.

You will use your planning and organisational skills to enable the efficient running of the planning and output. You will be required to have excellent attention to detail and enjoy building relationships and working in a team.

You will need to be comfortable working with spreadsheets and other administrative tools.

An interest and understanding of the variety of content produced across our cricket portfolio will be of benefit.

It is desirable to have a knowledge of Outside Broadcasts but not essential.

This is a planning role and gallery skills are not required for this role.

We work in a hybrid way with some office and some home-based days.

The BBC is committed to redeploying employees seeking suitable alternative employment within the BBC for different reasons and they will be given priority consideration ahead of other applicants. Priority consideration means for those employees seeking redeployment their application will be considered alongside anyone else at risk of redundancy, prior to any individuals being considered who are not at risk.
