BBC Radio Gloucestershire is looking for a Broadcast Assistant who will assist with all aspects of on air programme production. We are the BBC Local Radio service for the English county of Gloucestershire.
Working as a Broadcast Assistant, you’ll be assisting with the production of a variety of programmes. You will assess and produce calls from listeners whose contributions are a key part of the show and be the first point of contact with the public for all programme enquiries. You may also appear on air as "the voice” of local traffic news and possibly present some other programmes. You’ll be bursting with ideas which are topical, locally relevant and of the day.
You will need an excellent telephone manner, coolness under pressure and experience of dealing with the public. You’ll be a strong communicator, with an ability to persuade contributors to go on air. You should possess good IT skills and be able to demonstrate excellent customer care skills. Presentation experience, actual on air experience and a passion for radio are also important.
You need to be a creative person, who has an awareness of our audience, output and the topical issues relevant to our listeners. Working in the radio industry at the moment you will have a good broadcasting voice and will probably have experience of live on air work. Knowledge of at least one other local community would be an advantage.
For more information please call Mark Hurrell, Managing Editor or Nick Bull Programmes SBJ on 01452 308585.
Please submit a CD which demonstrates your voice and any packages /short excerpts of a live programme that you have recently done that you are particularly proud of to Mark Hurrell, Managing Editor, BBC Gloucestershire, London Road, Gloucester, GL1 1SW by the closing date (please do not email) Non returnable.
