As part of the BBC’s ambition to better reflect the population in its workforce and output, we’re dedicated to finding the best deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent candidates from across the UK to come and work with us!

These webinars are just the beginning of the BBC’s commitment to recruit more deaf, disabled and neurodiverse talent. Later in the year and continuing into 2024, there will be Open Days across a number of BBC Locations including Pacific Quay in Glasgow and the Newsroom in London Broadcasting House.

Over the course of the year we hope to create more events, opportunities and conversations. Make sure have signed up to our talent pool to be kept up to date with events and opportunities. Link to talent pool here.
