You will research a huge range of fascinating topics – from classics such as wildlife, farming and the environment, to arts, literature and fashion – and will search for novel and unexpected locations in the country’s well-trodden landscape.
Your many responsibilities will include:
1. Researching stories

3. Working on location
4. Collaborating with production colleagues and high-profile presenting talent
5. Ensuring all content is thoroughly researched and meets the BBC’s editorial standards

Keen to immerse yourself in the countryside and its stories, you will possess an excellent teamworking ethic, scheduling skills, and be highly organised. You will have experience of working in TV production as a researcher and knowledge of the production process and some amount of technical know-how. The ability to shoot is beneficial but not essential.
This role is offered on a PAYE contract and there are various start dates available for this pool. The role is Bristol based with some opportunities for hybrid working.
BBC Studios is committed to having a diverse range of skills, experience and talent working on our programmes, and as such we’re keen for applicants from underrepresented groups to apply, particularly those who are neurodivergent, have a disability, are from an ethnic minorities background and lower socio-economic groups to ensure we are representative of all.
