Either way, you'll work with executives and publicity colleagues to oversee communications to the media, prepare statements and releases, brief senior management and co-ordinate communications activity.

You'll have a first-rate news sense and be full of ideas for creative ways to tell a positive story about the BBC.

The Corporate Press Office has specific responsibility for handling the media on the BBC's corporate areas, such as the Director-General's work, diversity, the Licence Fee, strategy, HR and editorial policy and complaints.

It also provides a coordinating role for all the BBC's communications from the Corporation's divisional areas including TV and BBC iPlayer, Radio and BBC Sounds, News and Online.

We are looking for an established communications professional working at the very top of their game. You will be passionate about the BBC, broadcasting and media relations.

Unrivalled training and development opportunities – our in-house Academy hosts a wide range of internal and external courses and certification.

Benefits - We offer a competitive salary package, a flexible 35-hour working week for work-life balance and 26 days annual leave (1 of which is a corporation day) with the option to buy an extra 5 days, a defined pension scheme and discounted dental, health care, gym and much more.

Priority consideration means for those employees seeking redeployment their application will be considered alongside anyone else at risk of redundancy, prior to any individuals being considered who are not at risk.

We don't focus simply on what we do – we also care how we do it. Diversity matters at the BBC.

We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of the BBC – whether that's to contribute to our programming or our wide range of non-production roles.

The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity.


We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief.
