The BBC is committed to redeploying employees seeking suitable alternative employment within the BBC for different reasons and they will be given priority consideration ahead of other applicants. Priority consideration means for those employees seeking redeployment their application will be considered alongside anyone else at risk of redundancy, prior to any individuals being considered who are not at risk.

We're looking for a multi-skilled Senior Journalist Reporter (video journalist) to create visual reports for digital audiences and BBC Channel Islands News on BBC One. You’ll be based in Guernsey, confident filming and editing your reports to deadlines and will be keen to tell your stories on radio too.

We’re a small team with big ambitions, broadcasting to diverse audiences in Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm. The Channel Islands are not part of the UK or EU, they are self-governing Crown Dependences. Even if we say so ourselves, the Channel Islands have got to be one of the best places to live and work and you’re never more than twenty minutes from a beach!

You’ll need good research, reporting, shoot-edit skills and senior editorial judgement.

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

• Creative visual storytelling skills, including on screen performance
• Experience of self-shooting and editing
• Digital first thinking and experience telling stories on social platforms is a must
• Familiar with making complex editorial decisions
• A collaborative team player, able to work effectively under pressure and open to feedback
• You’ll want to be part of a working environment where we celebrate trying to do things differently, where we innovate and where we have FUN!
• You must have a full, clean driving licence

Diversity matters at the BBC. We have a working environment where we value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all of our employees to thrive and achieve their full potential.

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.

We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexuality, social background, religion and/or belief.
