Job Purpose

We're looking for a Journalist to work on Search and Social output for BBC Wales News, delivering material for audiences in Wales and beyond, for one of the world's largest and most popular news sites.

We want an ambitious and creative journalist with sound editorial judgment and experience of producing news in a fast-paced environment, including in breaking news situations.

You should have an eye for detail, a keen sense of audience needs in the digital space, as well as an understanding of how trends and audience data can improve our journalism.

You'll have the values and behaviours which enable you to contribute to the efforts of a team, while also working with colleagues across the newsroom, helping them to deliver outstanding output over time.

You'll be adept at creating a respectful, productive and positive environment, and you'll be engaged by collaboration across different teams in order to deliver wider strategic aims.

The ideal candidate will be accountable, taking on board feedback for their own performance constructively.

The ideal candidate will be someone who is engaged by contributing to a culture which embraces diversity and inclusion, and which encourages others to be their authentic self in a work context, to feel able to contribute their best in all ways.

The role is based in Wales, with hybrid working possible. You'll be working on a shift basis, including some nights and weekends.
