A UK wide opportunity exclusively for disabled people, Extend is an award-winning, BBC wide work placement scheme which offers appropriately experienced and/or qualified 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.

From Sept 2010, over 20 placements will be available across the UK, in both programming areas and programming support areas. You'll need to match the criteria for the placement as well as demonstrate a keen interest in broadcasting and knowledge of BBC output.

Applications must be received by 6th April and interviews are expected to be held between 26th April and 25th June.
