BBC Extend Scheme

Over the last 14 years, Extend has recruited 513 disabled people. The scheme has continually improved each year.

Exclusively for disabled people, we run a specialised work placement scheme - BBC Extend.
Extend is a BBC-wide placement scheme which offers appropriately experienced and/or qualified disabled people a great opportunity to gain six months paid work within the BBC.
Although there is no guarantee of a full-time job at the end of the 6 month placement last year 65% of the Extendees gained further work at the BBC!
Becoming an Extendee is a great way to get started at the BBC. We have many challenging and imaginative placements across the country, in both programming and support areas.
