The BBC is an international multimedia broadcaster on radio, TV, online and social networks with a weekly global audience of 320 million. As part of an historic and exciting expansion of BBC Africa, the BBC World Service is launching new TV programmes and innovative digital content alongside its existing African news output.

BBC operates five production bureaux with nearly 200 reporters and producers in Africa and the UK. This number is set to double as BBC World Service is introducing more language services and making significant investment in its TV and digital production.

A substantial volume of production will take place in London and Nairobi, where the BBC is developing modern multimedia facilities for live programming and production in English, Swahili and other BBC Africa broadcast languages. The BBC is also investing in studios with TV and Digital video production capability in Nigeria and Senegal.

Our range of programmes will go beyond the hard news agenda to cover Health, Technology, Sport, Business, a weekly women’s discussion programme, news content for children as well as for younger audiences, News Quiz and a weekly news review programme. We will also produce satirical and ‘infotainment’ programming that covers the news from an irreverent alternative perspective.

This role will work closely and collaboratively with all teams in Africa and at the BBC’s headquarters in London to deliver the best service for BBC audiences.
