  • Grasped the news agenda and produced stand-out content on some of the nation's biggest radio brands.
  • Established yourself as a trusted voice to our audiences.
  • Set the standard in the quality of output across our newsroom.

Responsibilities of the role

  • You'll have a fantastic voice, write creatively and be able to deliver high quality, relevant, timely and accurate news and current affairs content.
  • You'll help set the on-air and digital agenda daily.
  • You'll have sound legal judgement and be proficient in Ofcom's broadcast regulations and guidelines.

What you will need

The ideal candidate will be proactive and willing to develop and implement innovative solutions, capable of the following:

  • Delivering standout, OFCOM-compliant bulletins which routinely meet and exceed Global standards.
  • Pitching and delivering exclusive, original content, either on your own or in collaboration with other team members.
  • Understanding the importance of bespoke content across our brand portfolio and be capable of taking ownership for all editorial decisions with those diverse audiences in mind.
  • Responding to changing situations and problem-solving under pressure, to ensure our output is always of the highest standard in all circumstances.
  • News happens 24/7 - this isn't a 'normal' office job and flexibility is key.

Everyone is welcome at Global
