You will be able to show how you cope with a demanding and changing workload, meet frequent tight deadlines and work calmly and inclusively under pressure. You’ll also be able to share strong examples of working to a tight deadline in remote conditions during the pandemic.

The role is based in our Norwich newsroom, and the successful candidate will work on television and digital news production, from producing early, late and weekend bulletins and planning stories, to creating online content that enhances our reputation and engages our digital audience. You will also have outstanding written and verbal communications skills, and the ability to demonstrate good working relationships with colleagues and external contacts. You will have excellent editorial judgement and social media skills. You will have qualified in media law and have a thorough understanding of the Ofcom Code. So, if you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same and you have the journalistic skills that will help us achieve our goals, we’d love to hear from you.
