In your covering note, tell us why you’re interested in working behind the scenes in sports broadcasting. Include an example of when you helped organise something, kept accurate records or supported a team. This could be from education, work, volunteering or everyday life. Then, in no more than three sentences, explain how you would check that equipment and paperwork were ready before a broadcast crew left to cover a sporting event. You don’t need technical broadcasting knowledge - we’re interested in your approach to preparation and organisation. We welcome applications from everyone. If you need adjustments at any stage of the process, tell us, and we will make them.
