Full Job Description
You will look to ensure a full diversity of voices, meeting high journalistic standards and observing the BBC Editorial Guidelines.
Are you the right candidate?
The ideal candidate will be brimming with ideas for great content. You'll understand how to tell a story in a way in which our audience can understand and engage with it. You'll really care about reaching and engaging with a truly diverse audience.
As this role might involve producing the 1830 TV news programme, an ability to work calm under pressure and in a collaborative manner is key.
It goes without saying that you'll also be a team player, recognising the contribution that everyone collectively makes.
About the BBC
We don't focus simply on what we do - we also care about how we do it. Our values and the way we behave are important to us. Please make sure you've read about our values and behaviours here.
Diversity matters at the BBC. We have a working environment where we value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all of our employees to thrive and achieve their full potential.
We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of the BBC - whether that's to contribute to our programming or our wide range of non-production roles. The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity.
We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief. We will consider flexible working requests for all roles, unless operational requirements prevent otherwise.
We're looking for someone who is passionate about telling the stories that really matter to our audience. You'll have the ability to share those stories in a creative and dynamic way and recognise how they be told across different platforms: Television, radio and our digital services.
You will work as part of the wider BBC South news operation. Excellent planning and communication skills are fundamental. The job will involve some shift and weekend working.
Salary: Upto £47,000 pro rata depending on relevant skills, knowledge and experience. The expected salary range for this role reflects internal benchmarking and external market insights.
We're happy to discuss flexible working. Please indicate your choice under the flexible working question in the application. There is no obligation to raise this at the application stage but if you wish to do so, you are welcome to. Flexible working will be part of the discussion at offer stage.
1. Excellent career progression - the BBC offers great opportunities for employees to seek new challenges and work in different areas of the organisation.
2. Unrivalled training and development opportunities - our in-house Academy hosts a wide range of internal and external courses and certification.
3. Benefits- We offer a competitive salary package, a flexible 35-hour working week for work-life balance and 26 days annual leave (1 of which is a corporation day) with the option to buy an extra 5 days, a defined pension scheme and discounted dental, health care, gym and much more.
Please note: If you were to be offered this role, the BBC will conduct Employment screening checks which include Reference checks; Eligibility to work checks; and if applicable to the role, Safeguarding and Adverse media/Social media checks. Any offer made is conditional on these checks being satisfactory
