**Job Introduction**:
Based in Cardiff, you will bring your passion for audio production and storytelling, as well as your experience of script-editing and working with writers and actors, to be part of an award-winning team making a wide range of drama, readings and comedy output for BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Sounds.

From podcast dramas such as BBC Sounds Limelight: Siege, new writing for BBC Radio 4 from emerging and established dramatists, such as Tracks, Broken Colours, The Making of a Monster and The Lemonade Lads; short stories and dramatizations of existing texts such as The Limits to Growth, Heart of Darkness or Hard Times.

You will also be asked to help with the development, research and story-lining of factual documentaries or narrative podcast series.

**Main Responsibilities**:
We are looking to recruit an assistant producer on a permanent continuing basis to work within the Cardiff audio drama team, assisting with the development and production of new audio drama, comedy and readings.

As assistant producer, you will develop new ideas and writers for radio broadcast and/or online or multiplatform use, and uncover new writing and acting talent. You will also work closely with writers on their programme pitches and, after commission, throughout the script-editing process, taking the script to the stage when it is ready for studio.

You will direct drama and readings for audio, and bring your knowledge of actors to bear on casting those productions. You will also be expected to edit (or learn to edit) on the BBC’s SADIE editing software and work in close collaboration with our technical producers on the sound design and final mix.

You should be a passionate storyteller, eager to explore the human condition through drama. You will also need to demonstrate experience of working with writers on drama scripts and of directing professional actors.

Your dramatic knowledge may have grown from a love of film, TV, podcasts, radio or theatre. But you should know what makes a good script, where to find great writers, and how to work with them to help them produce their best work.

Similarly you should be able to recognise what makes a great actor and what the specific challenges are in radio.

We’d like to find somebody with an understanding of why audio is a unique medium for telling stories; somebody who believes the ‘pictures are better on the radio’; and somebody with a passion for ear-bending sound design.

Ideally, you will also have experience of preparing material for social media and have strong technical skills and imaginative flair in this field. As an integral member of the editorial team you’ll be both a strong team-player and a skilled self-scheduler.

**About the BBC**

We don’t focus simply on what we do - we also care how we do it. Our values and the way we behave are important to us. Please make sure you’ve read about our values and behaviours here.

Diversity matters at the BBC. We have a working environment where we value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all of our employees to thrive and achieve their full potential.

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.
