Job Introduction

BBC Radio Jersey may be small in stature but huge in ambition. Even if we say so ourselves, Jersey has got to be one of the best places to live and work. You're never more than ten minutes from the sea and we have some of the best beaches in the British Isles. And now we're looking for a Presenter to join our creative team.

Main Responsibilities

• This is an exciting opportunity to join our presenter line-up in Jersey as the regular host of our Saturday Breakfast programme. You'll contribute engaging programme ideas, research guests and topics, and host the weekly show - which is shared with BBC Radio Guernsey 6-10am.
• You'll deliver programme presentation duties, recording and editing multi-track audio and developing stories to be used across all platforms.
• You'll also operate a variety of broadcast equipment including the on-air studios, our production desk, and our broadcast vehicles. You may have the opportunity to work elsewhere on weekdays too.

Are you the right candidate?

BBC Radio Jersey is looking for a new presenter for our Saturday Breakfast Show. You'll have a connection with our audience, an easy manner behind the mic and a love for all the Channel Islands (as we share the show with BBC Radio Guernsey).

You will be based in Jersey - but on occasions may broadcast from the other islands.

We're looking for colleagues who have:

• A passion for making great radio - that's at the heart of our community.
• An understanding of our radio programmes, TV output and online presence - and an ability to present Saturday Breakfast (and other programmes).
• A technical understanding of broadcast output and a desire to learn to operate technical equipment.
• A willingness to work as an active member of a small team across all platforms - keen to meet people.
• An appreciation of the audience we aim to serve and an ability to connect with them from behind the mic.

Applicants should provide a 3 minute air-check showcasing their presentation skills and offer 500 words on how they would develop the existing programme.

Job Impact

The BBC is committed to redeploying employees seeking suitable alternative employment within the BBC for different reasons and they will be given priority consideration ahead of other applicants. Priority consideration means for those employees seeking redeployment their application will be considered alongside anyone else at risk of redundancy, prior to any individuals being considered who are not at risk.

We don't focus simply on what we do - we also care how we do it. Our values and the way we behave are important to us. Please make sure you've read about our values and behaviours here.

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.

We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of the BBC - whether that's to contribute to our programming or our wide range of non-production roles. The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity.

We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief. We will consider flexible working requests for all roles, unless operational requirements prevent otherwise.
