Proposed Salary Range
£28,000 - £35,000 plus Channel Island Weighting 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. If you'd like to, please indicate your preference in the application – though there's no obligation to do so now. Flexible working will be part of the discussion at offer stage.
This role is based in Jersey. This role is open to candidates who are “entitled” to live and work in Jersey only. More information is available at www.gov.je/jobs.
Purpose of the Role
We’re looking for an audio specialist who’s equally comfortable reading news bulletins and producing programmes. You’ll work across a range of weekday and weekend programmes delivering community-focused stories for the island of Jersey. We’re unique. We have our own Government, laws, and traditions, and you’ll be close to the audience you serve. There will be opportunities to pitch and develop original stories and to work across platforms as required.
Why Join the Team
BBC Radio Jersey has been at the heart of island life since 1983, delivering news and conversation that gets people talking. Join our friendly, ambitious team and help create content that informs and engages audiences across Jersey.
Even if we say so ourselves, Jersey has got to be one of the best places to live and work. You're never more than ten minutes from the sea and we have some of the best beaches in the British Isles.
We’re looking for a creative multimedia journalist to contribute ideas, tell compelling stories, and connect with our audience across platforms.
