The BBC Flexi Job Apprentice Agency (FJAA) is offering an exciting opportunity to be a Level 3 Production Apprentice working within the team at CTVC in Manchester on Songs of Praise and other productions.
The production apprenticeship helps you gain experience in the exciting world of television production. You’ll learn on-the-job as part of CTVC’s Songs of Praise production team, developing your knowledge and skills while working towards your production apprenticeship qualification with our learning provider Bauer Academy.
Songs of Praise is the BBC’s long running religious programme format which celebrates Christian communities and values across the UK. At CTVC, you will learn from leading television professionals both in the studio and out on location. You’ll develop an understanding of what goes into making broadcast television and the creative and logistical stages that occur throughout the process.
CTVC was setup in 1965 and is first and foremost a charity with a remit to produce religious, ethical and moral content. CTVC operates as an independent media production company and their predominant vision is to inspire, educate and entertain. As well as Songs of Praise, CTVC also produce the TV series Pilgrimage, My Friend Misty as well as many radio and podcast documentaries.
This is an exciting first step into programme making, giving the tools for future careers in fields such as Runners, Junior Researchers, Assistant Producers, and Junior Production Coordinators.
Through the BBC’s Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agency, you will be hired by the BBC and be placed with CTVC for the duration of your apprenticeship. The BBC will work with CTVC and Bauer Academy to oversee your successful completion on the apprenticeship.
An apprenticeship requires full commitment and discipline from the learner. Alongside experiences and training, there is an expectation of wider self-learning and the requirement to meet learning objectives and deadlines, as outlined by the apprentice standards. Apprentices must show the BBC and CTVC that they are dedicated to accomplishing the knowledge, skills and behaviour requirements outlined in their apprenticeship learning plan.
