Across the unit as a whole we make content for all of News - from the main bulletins and sequences to specialist programmes – and you may be required to contribute to that. This is a very demanding, flexible and multi-skilled role which involves writing for online, as well as filming and producing. It may involve some on air reporting for both pre-recorded and live elements.

The Technology online team is a small and adaptable team where each member takes on the tasks needed on any particular day.
