Job Introduction
This role is advertised as part of our BBC Extend programme for disabled people. To apply for this role you should identify as deaf, disabled or neurodivergent and must meet either: the definition of disability in the Equality Act (2010), or the definition of disability in the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) if applying in Northern Ireland. You're broadly defined as disabled under both acts if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term negative or adverse effect on your ability to do normal daily activities. This definition includes both apparent and non-apparent conditions and impairments, and medical conditions such as Cancer, HIV or Multiple Sclerosis.
We are committed to making the process of applying for this role as accessible as possible. If you need to discuss adjustments or access requirements for the application process, or have any questions about our Extend programme, please contact the BBC Extend team via the shared mailbox.

BBC Radio Solent is looking for a journalist - an audio content producer - to join its talented team of broadcast journalists at our studios in Southampton. This role will be studio producing our Saturday Breakfast programme, which is shared with BBC Radio Berkshire and BBC Radio Oxford, serving a TSA of more than three million people across five counties.
We're looking for an experienced radio producer with excellent audio and storytelling skills to help us reflect the lives of the counties' residents in our content. You'll have experience setting up and producing great radio, originating stories and creating audio content for digital platforms.
Main Responsibilities
Creativity and storytelling are essential core skills. In this role you will engage the audience across the region with compelling stories, high production values and creative flare.
You will be skilled in originating content and ideas that engage the communities across all the five counties we cover, and will be able to share relevant stories on digital platforms as well as on the radio. Through your work you'll make the output relevant to our diverse audience and look for opportunities to increase and maximise the reach of our content.
You will consistently achieve high journalistic standards and uphold the BBC Editorial Guidelines.
Are you the right candidate?
* You'll be a team player and you'll be brimming with ideas on news stories to share with the residents of the South.
* You'll have the ability to recognise how we can share those stories in a variety of ways, not just on the radio, but on digital platforms as well.
* You'll understand how to tell a story in a way in which our listeners can understand and engage with it.
* You'll know the BBC's strategic aims and know how the content you produce helps BBC Local achieve its target reach.
* You'll know how to add value to an item using social media.
* You will be keen to bring in new contributors, voices and guests and really care about making your content reach a wide and diverse audience.
* You will work alongside the wider BBC South news operation where we are establishing new workflows, so adaptability and teamwork will be essential, as are excellent communication skills.
This role is one day a week, on a Saturday. The contractual base will be BBC Radio Solent (Southampton).
