Over the last 13 years, Extend has recruited 491 disabled people. The
scheme has continually improved each year. Last year over 70% of
Extendees went on to gain further employment in the BBC.

Extend was recognised by Personnel Today, winning the award for
Diversity in the Workplace.

Exclusively for disabled people, the BBC 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 70% of the Extendees gained further work at
the BBC!

Becoming an Extendee is a great way to get started at the BBC. There
are many challenging and imaginative placements across the country, in
both programming and support.
