This is Your BBC | Jobs and Careers with the BBC

The BBC is committed to being inclusive and accessible to disabled people. Disabled people are a diverse group with differing requirements, some of which aren’t always apparent.

We’re committed to making our recruitment process as accessible as possible, the BBC Careers site has been built with accessibility in mind from the start so everyone, regardless of ability, can apply for positions within the BBC.

This page outlines how people can use the BBC Careers site and its accessibility features. The BBC Accessibility Policy Statement (pdf, opens in new window) covers our wider commitment to accessibility at the BBC.

The site does use technologies which are beyond the control of the BBC and there may be some areas where you may encounter barriers. We are currently working with our technology partners to identify and address issues on an ongoing basis. Known issues are highlighted on this page, but if you encounter an accessibility issue and require support you can email reasonable.adjustments@bbc.co.uk  and our team can support you further.
