Job Purpose
The BBC Northern Ireland TV Presentation team looks after the transmission of BBC One Northern Ireland, BBC Two Northern Ireland and BBC Parliament. We are looking for an Announcer/Director to join our team and work across our channels. You will be one of the voices of BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC Two Northern Ireland whilst operating the playout automation and other systems to ensure smooth and accurate transmission.
Key Responsibilities and Accountabilities
As part of a small team you would be working a 365 day a year rota which covers transmission from early morning until late at night, working ‘solo’ in the control room, ensuring all the items in the schedule are broadcast correctly, operating the playout automation and other systems, previewing and checking content, liaising with editorial and technical colleagues across the UK ahead of and during transmission and making changes where necessary to keep our schedules on track.
When on shift on BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC Two Northern Ireland you would be writing and delivering live continuity announcements which promote our programmes and communicate important information about content. While working on BBC Parliament you would be acting as a “transmission controller” constantly liaising with the editorial team at Westminster, managing schedules and programme deliveries.
Knowledge, Skills, Training & Experience
* If you enjoy the challenge of live broadcasting and are comfortable with operating a control room under pressure…
* If you can make considered decisions quickly, balance conflicting priorities and work with engineering and production colleagues to get things back on track when they don’t quite go to plan…
* If you can write your own announcements and have a pleasant, confident and engaging voice and are comfortable with operating transmission systems whilst talking to time…
… you could be the person we’re looking for. This is a great opportunity to work in a live transmission environment where no two days are exactly the same!
