Exclusively for disabled people, Extend is an award-winning, BBC-wide work placement scheme which offers appropriately experienced and/or qualified disabled people a great opportunity to gain six months paid work experience within the BBC.

Although the scheme doesn't necessarily lead to a full-time job, last year more than half its intake gained further work at the BBC.

Starting from March 2008, five placements will be available right across London, in both programming areas and programme support areas.

As well as matching the criteria for the individual placement, you'll need to demonstrate a keen interest in broadcasting and knowledge of BBC output for our diverse audience. Excellent communication and team working skills are also essential.

Applications to be received 28 February. Interviews and assessments are expected to be held between 10 and 17 March.

Please note you may only apply for two placements.
