ITV Cymru Wales

We have a fantastic opportunity for an On-Screen Journalist with strong digital skills to join our Wales news team based at our newsroom and studio in Cardiff. This is a high-profile, innovative role for someone with a proven track record of delivering striking, high-quality, distinctive journalism for online and linear channels.

We are a multi-platform operation and this role will be at the forefront of using digital media to drive and extend the reach of our journalism. Ideally you’ll have proven experience of delivering a range of content for online platforms and have innovative ideas about how to develop our reach further. This role requires innovative ideas, a strong breaking news mindset and a commitment to reach younger audiences with on day Welsh content. We are looking for someone who embraces the use of mobile journalism and thrives in using such technologies in their storytelling.

Wales is a richly diverse nation and we're looking for a person who will help ensure our coverage is as representative of the people and backgrounds of all those who live here as possible.

The successful candidate will have a strong track record in journalism, with great story-telling ability in video formats and a sound knowledge of media regulation and the law. You will use your journalistic skills to ensure your reports are informative, factually accurate, fair and balanced.

As an established self-starter, you will immerse yourself in the community, ensure our newsgathering reflects the different communities that make up our audience and develop great contacts to deliver agenda-setting coverage across the nation.

This is a busy news patch and you will need self-discipline and an excellent work ethic to successfully work remotely. You will regularly contribute original ideas and set the editorial agenda within the newsroom. Alongside your first-class communication and team-working skills, experience of self-shooting, laptop editing and live reporting is desirable. We will expect you to develop your camera and editing skills to complement our newsgathering and story-telling.
