You’ll be a good team player, brimming with ideas, contacts and story treatments to share with the audience. Main Responsibilities

You will be reporting to the Executive Editor. Are you the right candidate?
You’ll have excellent writing skills, be able to edit audio quickly and effectively and have a keen sense of what makes a good story. You’ll know how to construct a well-balanced bulletin, have loads of creative tricks up your sleeve and know how to tell the story for a broadcast audience. You’ll understand the digital landscape and be aware of the separate needs of different platforms. You’ll recognise opportunities to connect with underserved audiences and consumers of content. You’ll be a team player but comfortable working on tasks on your own. In a continually evolving media landscape we need creative journalists and reporters who embrace change, are flexible and open minded, willing to think differently and be bold in trying new approaches to their work. As a part of the application process, you are required to send a bulletin demo of 3 mins and also a story idea for BBC Radio Wiltshire of no more than 300 words. About the BBC

Diversity matters at the BBC. We have a working environment where we value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all of our employees to thrive and achieve their full potential.
