Big Brum TV Link-Up: Become a Content Producer for BBC Three!

BBC Three is calling all creatives to meet them in Birmingham for the Big Brum TV Link-Up! See a message from them below:

The BBC is for everyone.  We want to attract people from all backgrounds to be part of the BBC and to better reflect the UK today. This is a chance for off-screen talent from under-represented groups to link up with the award-winning BBC Three in Birmingham.

We’re inviting experienced creatives interested in working in the Midlands, who are black, Asian, minority ethnic, and/or have a disability and/or are from lower socio-economic* backgrounds, to meet the team from BBC Three at The Big Brum TV Link-Up.  This special networking event takes place on the evening of Wednesday 16 October and includes a series of one–to-one speed networking meetings with commissioners, execs and talent managers.  

BBC Three publishes award-winning content aimed at young audiences across digital platforms, including iPlayer. It has a team based at The Mailbox creating digital shortform, Factual and Fact Ent formats.  Across the year there are usually opportunities for skilled individuals including video editors, social media execs, researchers, assistant producers, producers, directors and Series Producers.

If you have credits as a researcher or above or you’ve run a successful social media campaign, and are from one of the underrepresented groups mentioned, then please apply to come along and meet the team to find out more about how your skills could match these opportunities.  Please note that all roles at BBC Three are subject to an open recruitment process and all appointments are based on merit.

You’ll also have an opportunity to meet with other content makers including representatives from BBC Birmingham’s Drama Village and Local and Regional programmes as well as independent production companies from across the West Midlands including Wonder, Full Fat TV, North One Television and FirstLook TV.
