Please enclose a covering letter with your CV.

We have an opportunity for broadcast journalists at Good Morning Britain to take on the role of Overnight News / Bulletin Editor. This job will put you right at the heart of the dynamic team who put together three hours of live television every morning; setting the agenda with informative, engaging content and reporting on the issues that matter.

As News Editor you will be responsible for staying across the news agenda both at home and abroad, spotting great stories, booking guests and handling breaking news.

You will brief producers and deploy correspondents. You will work closely with our programme editors, senior news editor, bulletin editors and programme organisers, as well our colleagues at ITN and in the ITV regional newsrooms.

As Bulletin Editor you will craft our news bulletins each morning, choosing the most interesting and important stories for our viewers.

You will help our reporters and correspondents write the very best scripts and be experienced in story selection. You will have the ability to communicate and give instructions effectively, make good judgement calls and work effectively as part of a team.

You will have an excellent contacts book and a good knowledge of Ofcom guidelines, duty of care and the law as it relates to broadcast journalism. You will be a confident and accurate writer and thrive on breaking news.

- Make informed legal, health and safety judgements
- Manage resources to ensure all stories are adequately covered
- Take a lead role in encouraging talent and developing skills and experience of newer members of the team
