The Broadcast Journalist for this role is a strong producer who can direct live programmes from a busy studio, plan and research compelling local output. We are looking for someone who can bring the best original stories and the best callers to air. They will also need to have good people skills to work within the team to get the best performance possible from our presenter as well as to co-coordinate a small unit of staff.
