Job Introduction
Working within a central, professional, team of Resource Schedulers you’ll look after the day-to-day schedules for News staff. This role works across a range of journalistic teams within BBC News & Current Affairs. Ideally, you will need experience of working to tight deadlines in a 24/7/365 environment and adapting to last minute changes to ensure the right staff are delivered to the right areas at the right time. As a member of a team of Schedulers, you will be expected to support your colleagues and manage the work fairly across the team.
This is a hybrid role with an expectation that you would work from BBC Quay House in Salford regularly each week.
Main Responsibilities
Working within a centralised team of Resource Schedulers you’ll look after the day-to-day and forward planning of schedules for staff in a wide range of teams. You will be responsible for ensuring that the business workload is met by suitably skilled and experienced staff and will be a point of contact for queries and requests from the teams you schedule and other stakeholders. You will carry this out in accordance with BBC Terms and Conditions and HR Policies, liaising closely with the programme output teams, the business community and with your Senior Resource Scheduler and/or Business Advisor to ensure scheduling best practice is followed at all times. You will also be responsible for administering and managing all documentation associated with this process.
Finally, you will forward plan schedules and react to on-the-day changes to provide efficient staffing for required shifts, which may include contingency planning in line with programming strategy and priorities.
Are you the right candidate?
You will have exceptional organisation and planning skills and have a very high level of attention to detail. You will have experience of adopting new system workflows and carrying out business processes to a high standard. You will also need to be a first-class communicator, capable of delivering complex information in an accessible way, to a range of people. You will be able to work pragmatically and independently, resolving issues and finding solutions in a creative and timely manner. Finally, you will have the ability to work flexibly, in a fast-paced and demanding environment and be able to respond to situations quickly to accommodate changing needs, at very short notice.
