Job Introduction
Ambitious output makes BBC Oxford one of the most exciting places to work in BBC Local. We are looking for a highly creative Political Reporter who can bring politics to life in a simple and straightforward way which reflects the lives of our audience.
Main Responsibilities
BBC Oxford is looking for an experienced Broadcast Journalist to work two days per week as part of a job-share alongside our existing Political Reporter who works three days a week. You will produce content for radio bulletins and programmes as well as writing for online colleagues and producing pieces for TV.
Are you the right candidate?
As a political reporter you'll be across all the relevant social media feeds, follow those in the know on X (Twitter) and get excited at the prospect of pouring over online agendas and minutes of council meetings. You'll know all the MPs in your patch and have their numbers in your phone. A strong understanding of the BBC's editorial guidelines and values is essential, along with an ability to uphold them.
Reporting to the News Editor, you'll sit as part of a wider South newsgathering operation, liaising with your colleagues in television and online, ensuring they are fully across the stories making headlines in Oxfordshire.
As part of your application please provide an MP3 of no more than 3 minutes of recent on-air work that demonstrates your ability to explain a detailed story in an engaging way.
