You will be passionate about news, and eager to investigate and create your own unique and exclusive stories

Ideally, you will have experience of producing and presenting news bulletins.

You will enjoy working flexible hours and always strive to complete a task to a high standard.

A knowledge and understanding of the key issues affecting the lives of people in our regions in which you are based
