The post holder will be primarily responsible for covering news for network audiences on all the BBC's flagship news programmes such as the One, Six and Ten O'Clock News, Radio Five Live, the News Channel, Radio Four's “Today” and UK News Online. The Wales network bureau also contributes to BBC Wales output.

You will be expected to work collaboratively with BBC Wales output, sharing resources when necessary.
