Financial Crime jobs in United Kingdom

Fixed‑Term Apprenticeship, Full‑time for 13 months. Department: Content Production. Location: Belfast – Broadcasting House. Salary: £22,950.

Join us as a Production apprentice at the BBC to kick‑start your career in a job you’ll love. We’re committed to your skills and talent development. You’ll learn on‑the‑job and develop your knowledge and skills in an area that interests you while working towards your apprenticeship qualification with one of our learning providers.

This is your chance to launch a career at the very heart of British broadcasting. We’re looking for individuals with a passion to find out how we make content and bring ideas to life. Depending on your placement area, you could be working behind the scenes on exciting productions, from gripping dramas to the thrill of live radio, and gain a recognised qualification while learning on the job. This is an opportunity to widen your production knowledge while working on content that matters to millions.

To learn more about the schemes we offer, you can register to join one of our webinars here. Please note that the webinar for this scheme takes place on Wednesday 10 December at 6pm. If you’re unable to attend or have seen this after that date, keep an eye on our webinar playlist on YouTube where the video will be uploaded.

Work with an award‑winning team that produces audio content for BBC Sounds, Radio Ulster and BBC Radio. The team delivers successful podcast strands such as Assume Nothing, The Mystery of, and Crime Next Door, as well as flagship programmes for BBC Radio Ulster including Consumer Fightback, Gardeners’ Corner and comedy strands such as Lunchtime with Michael Fry.

As a Production apprentice, this is a brilliant opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute – you could be:

• Researching and developing ideas
• Building skills to create short‑form video for BBC and social platforms

You’ll learn both on‑ and off‑the job. This means that, in addition to learning on your placement at the BBC, you’ll attend learning blocks (up to a week at a time) with our learning provider, working towards an industry‑recognised apprenticeship qualification – Level 3 Production Assistant. Learning blocks will be a mixture of in‑person and virtual delivery.
