**Contract type: 12 Month Fixed Term Contract / Attachment**

**Location: Norfolk**

**Job Introduction**:
BBC Radio Norfolk has an exciting opportunity for a political reporter two days a week (as part of a job share). We are looking for a creative and tenacious reporter to hold those in power to account and to explain what is happening to our audience in the most engaging way.

This is a 12 month fixed term contract for a Senior Broadcast Journalist to join our news team in an election year.

**Role Responsibility**:
The Politics Reporter needs to work right across the radio station, delivering digital content, live and recorded content for radio programmes and news bulletins as well as providing content for online and TV.

You must be a key contributor to the daily and weekly news planning process. You will have a passion for politics and be familiar with the national political agenda, keep tabs on all of our local MPs, as well as keeping across the work of county, district and parish councils. You will also be expected to deliver your own original journalism and deal with complex editorial and legal questions.

Primarily working in the newsroom in Norwich, you’ll also be expected to work alongside television colleagues producing content for the weekly “Sunday Politics”. This role requires flexibility to make sure we’re there when the stories happen which may include evenings and occasionally weekends.

As a political reporter you’ll be across all the relevant social media feeds and relish finding nuggets by studying agendas and minutes of council meetings. You’ll be well across the national and local political agendas both current and what’s coming up, you’ll know all the MPs in the county and make sure they have your number in their phones. You’ll have an instinct for which stories matter to our listeners’ lives and make sure they hear it from us first.

You need to be a self-starter with your finger on the pulse. You’ll need to be able to explain complex situations in a simple and captivating way. You will have the confidence to hold those in power to account and the attention to detail to make sure they don’t get off the hook.

You should be passionate about politics and be the go-to person with any political queries from the team including colleagues in television and online. You’ll be very familiar with the BBC’s editorial guidelines and values and passionate about upholding them.

To find out more about the role and BBC Radio Norfolk you can call the News Editor Sophie Price on 01603 284366.

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.
- **Excellent career progression** - the BBC offers great opportunities for employees to seek new challenges and work in different areas of the organisation.
- **Unrivalled training and development opportunities** - our in-house Academy hosts a wide range of internal and external courses and certification.
