At Banijay UK we want to be the best employer we can be
To create inclusive workplaces where everyone feels safe, respected and supported to do their best work. To empower everyone to feel comfortable being themselves at work, use their voice and share unique perspectives. We drive creativity and create content that truly reflects modern society.
Banijay UK is a home for everyone
Our employee networks are invaluable – providing ways to connect, support and inspire with events and initiatives throughout the year.
These growing and vibrant networks also ensure effective engagement and communication with under-represented groups around the business.
Our employee networks include Banijay Embrace (celebrating Black Asian and ethnically diverse talent and their stories, whilst accelerating inclusivity, equality and diversity in the industry), Banijay Pride (Celebrating and protecting our LGBTQIA+ people in policy and practice), Banijay Elle (celebrating and supporting woman), Banijay Green (a group to drive our sustainability pledges), MME (a peer support group for staff going through Menopause or peri-menopause) and a Neuro Diversity Peer Support Group.
We also work hard to be kind to the planet
Finding new ways to operate sustainably both on and off screen; offsetting our carbon footprint by working with our service partners on environmental initiatives and with charity events across the year. Our productions are also ALBERT certified, learning to act on their impact and minimise their effect on the planet.
Accelerating Diversity
We are proud to support numerous diversity schemes and in-house initiatives which aim to bring talented people from a wide range of backgrounds into the business and allow them to do their best work.
We are also committed to promoting and supporting diversity across the TV industry, working closely with our industry partners and broadcasters including: PACT, MAMA Youth, Diamond, S4S, Dandi, Boost, ScreenSkills, NFTS, the FTV Charity and our own intern scheme Bright Bulb.

Our Partnerships
MAMA Youth
Banijay UK partners with Mama Youth, an organisation which trains young people from underrepresented groups and helps to equip them with skills and experience to start a career in television. Banijay UK has been supporting this charity as a patron and providing work placements for over 8 years and has welcomed many trainees through our doors over the years.
ScreenSkills
The ScreenSkills Mentoring Programme seeks to support mentees from underrepresented groups, as well as tackling skills gaps as identified by BFI and ScreenSkills research. The Mentoring Programme runs across all sectors of the screen industry and throughout the UK. It is aimed at new entrants, those who want to progress within or across the industry and those who want to return after a break.
The Film and TV Charity
The Film and TV Charity is working behind the scenes of the UK film, TV, and cinema industry, supporting the lives of everyone involved, from researchers to writers, people in casting and on productions, to those in post-production, sales, distribution, and exhibition.
Through its free, 24/7 Film and TV Support Line, the Charity offers a listening ear, access to counselling, the Bullying Advice Service, legal advice, financial guidance, and much, much more. The Charity has also developed the Whole Picture Toolkit for mentally healthy productions, a free resource that supports mental health on productions of any size and in any genre.

Future Frontiers
Future Frontiers is an award-winning education charity. They work with schools and businesses across the UK to provide a programme of coaching and access to professional role models to young people aged 13-18. Their programme exists to ensure young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are equipped with the knowledge, skills and mindsets to achieve their potential at school and when transitioning to destinations in education, employment or training.
Whether at the start of your career or looking for your next role in the industry, we are always working to create new opportunities, to nurture new talent and to grow with new perspectives and ways of working.
