APPRENTICESHIPS

Creative

The Bottle Yard Studios Business Administration Apprenticeship The Bottle Yard Studios (TBYS) is a successful film and TV studio facility located in south Bristol. Owned and managed by Bristol City Council (BCC), TBYS is proud to form part of the Culture & Creative Industries department of the Council.

The Business Administration apprentice will (mainly) support the Business Manager in the finance heavy aspects of their role. Other aspects of the role include supporting the site co-ordination team with practical day to day tasks.

We are looking for some-one with primarily with an interest in business administration. The role would suit some-one looking to obtain experience in all aspects of business and finance but who also has an interest in progressing a career within a TV production office environment. This apprenticeship is less suited to some-one who wants to specifically work in TV within a technical, design or creative role.

Reality Check This role may involve working within industrial and unheated warehouse space(s) as well as working outdoors. The working environment is safe, but it is important that candidates are aware that the role is not entirely (although pre-dominantly) desk based.

Desired Qualifications None required—however, applications without GCSE Grade A*-C (9 to 4) or equivalent and English will need to complete an assessment
