Job Introduction

This role is advertised as part of our BBC Extend programme for disabled people. To apply for this role you should identify as deaf, disabled or neurodivergent and must meet either: the definition of disability in the Equality Act (2010) , or the definition of disability in the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) if applying in Northern Ireland. You're broadly defined as disabled under both acts if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term negative or adverse effect on your ability to do normal daily activities. This definition includes both apparent and non-apparent conditions and impairments, and medical conditions such as Cancer, HIV or Multiple Sclerosis.

We are committed to making the process of applying for this role as accessible as possible. If you need to discuss adjustments or access requirements for the application process, or have any questions about our Extend programme, please contact the BBC Extend team via the shared mailbox .

The BBC are fully committed to providing workplace adjustments to help eliminate barriers in the workplace that disabled people face. To do this, we have our own dedicated BBC Access and Disability Service that provides assessments and support throughout employment with us. If you are successful in applying for this role and require workplace adjustments, we will work with you to get your adjustments in place.

BBC Radio Norfolk is looking for a talented, inspired individual to invest in and reflect our richly diverse communities stretching from King's Lynn in the west to the city of Norwich, Diss to the south and Great Yarmouth in the east. BBC Radio Norfolk has worked hard to build meaningful and mutually enriching relations with communities across the city and county and we're now looking for a Communities Senior Journalist to build on those strong foundations with fresh ideas which deliver impact and importance across all platforms.

Main Responsibilities

You'll be the person who makes sure BBC Radio Norfolk connects with our communities, making them feel supported, respected, celebrated and that they have a voice. You'll have experience of working with diverse communities and have ideas for making BBC Radio Norfolk relevant to underserved audiences.

You'll take ownership of shaping and leading on partnerships, events and projects, fostering collaboration and great team work across audio and the wider story team. You would be the local lead on important pan-England campaigns such as "Make A Difference".

We're looking for someone who is capable of establishing meaningful partnerships with external partners, representing BBC Radio Norfolk and raising our profile across communities and organisations.

You'll work closely with programme teams and presenters to create outstanding content for our audiences. As well as recognising digital opportunities to help our content travel further. You will be part of the management team and bring a wealth of leadership, journalistic and event management skills.

Are you the right candidate?

  • You'll need an extensive knowledge of the diverse communities across Norfolk, with lots of strong and deliverable ideas about how we can work with them to have an impact on air and in the digital space.
  • We're looking for someone with proven editorial judgement who can spot a story opportunity and turn it into creative content.
  • You'll need previous experience in radio programming and in project management with the focus and energy to see an idea through from conception to delivery.
  • Effective planning and organising skills are essential.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to establish new relationships are a must. Ideally, you'll also be someone with a track record of training and developing new talent.
