    BBC Radio Surrey has a rare opportunity to work with our talented team of broadcast journalists based in Guildford.

    The role

    We’re looking for a reporter, who is passionate about telling the stories that really matter to our audience, from across Surrey and North East Hampshire. Creativity is really important – you’ll have the ability to tell stories in a creative and dynamic way that engage with our audience. You’ll be a good team player and you’ll be brimming with ideas on news stories to share with your colleagues and our audience. You’ll also have the ability to recognise how we can share those stories in a variety of ways on our different platforms, radio, digital and potentially television.

    You will work as part of the wider BBC South East news operation. Excellent communication skills are fundamental and the job may involve shift and weekend working.

    Main responsibilities

    • Local knowledge of the patch is essential, as is a passion for storytelling. In our newsroom, no two days are ever the same.
    • You’ll be skilled in coming up with creative content that will be of interest to our audience.
    • You will look to ensure a full diversity of voices, meeting high journalistic standards and observing the BBC Editorial Guidelines.

    Are you the right candidate?

    • The ideal candidate will be brimming with ideas for great content.
    • You’ll understand how to tell a story in a way in which our audience can understand and engage with it.
    • You’ll really care about reaching and engaging with a truly diverse audience.
    • The contractual base will be BBC Radio Surrey (Guildford), with variable hours.
