We're looking for an enthusiastic Trainee Camera Operator to join our BFBS Forces News and Sport camera team for a 6 month fixed term contract, gaining hands-on experience in this new entry-level role.
Our camera operators are highly skilled and adaptable. Working as a team or solo, they support a diverse range of output across BFBS Forces News and Sport from covering military exercises in the UK and overseas, live sporting events, filming the latest military kit and much more.

The ideal candidate will be excited to apply their formal training in broadcast camera equipment and filming techniques, while able to demonstrate their experience using cameras through education, volunteering or personal projects.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Due to the nature of news and sports broadcasting, applicants must be flexible with working patterns, which may include early mornings, evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
Closing date: 2nd September 2026

Use of AI
We strongly encourage you to prepare your application in your own words and, wherever reasonably possible, without using generative AI to create or substantially rewrite this. We're interested in reading about your own experience, knowledge and skills, and your ability to communicate clearly. However, if you need to use AI or other assistive technology as a reasonable adjustment to enable you to participate in our recruitment process, you are welcome to do so and this will not disadvantage your application.
