Job Introduction

Our award-winning continuing dramas bring audiences together week after week. From EastEnders, Doctors, Holby City and Casualty to River City and Pobol y Cwm, our programmes remain a constant source of gripping entertainment, featuring cliff-hanger storylines and much-loved characters with whom our viewers have grown up.

We constantly find ways to innovate and keep our titles fresh - from live broadcasts to feature-length episodes, we strive to push creative and technical boundaries. Our continuing dramas are also a powerhouse of diverse new creative talent where we develop the next generation of writers, directors and actors that represent the best of British creativity.

Role Responsibility

The role of a Script Coordinator is a junior and training role where you would report to a Series Script Supervisor, Line Producer or Script Producer.

A Scripted Production Office is a constantly changing environment.  The postholder will need the ability to adopt a flexible approach, manage a variable workload and adapt to the different working styles of colleagues.

Television Drama production can involve long and unpredictable working patterns with the pressure to meet tight deadlines. The post would be office-based, and in general, normal office hours will apply.  However, a flexible approach to working hours may be occasionally required with the ability to work effectively in a busy office environment.

The Ideal Candidate

• An informed interest in television drama production, with a demonstrable passion for Scripted Productions
• Knowledge of the secretarial and administrative support required in television production
• Proven experience working in a demanding office environment
• Proficient in using a variety of IT software, including Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. Ideally a minimum typing speed of 50wpm
• Experience of establishing and maintaining office, filing and administration systems, and the ability to communicate information effectively to a wide range of production and non-production personnel, internal and external to the BBC
