Department

The team at BBC Guernsey delivers radio, online and television to the residents of the four islands which make up the Bailiwick of Guernsey. With a small team, it’s a great opportunity to further your multi-media skills and we’re looking for journalists with a passion for the islands and an understanding of the challenges of producing content across four platforms. Guernsey and her sister islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney are self-governing and are not part of the UK or the European Union. Journalists cover a wide range of stories, from the very local issues to those which make headlines around the World. This can be an island paradise, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a quiet place where nothing ever happens.
 
Any offer of employment is conditional on a housing licence being obtained for anyone not qualified to live locally.
