Assistant Producer, Owain Wyn Evans Show

Fancy waking up the nation live from Cardiff?

We’re hiring a part-time Assistant Producer to work within Owain Wyn Evans’ Radio 2 Early Breakfast Show team.

You’ll bring your own bit of stardust and humour to this fast-paced show where, amongst other things, you’ll be gathering listener interaction, cutting clips and lining up callers and contributors. 

The show comes live from BBC Cymru Wales Monday-Friday between 4 and 6.30 am. We run a week-on, week-off rota to keep you fresh, so you would be working one week in every two. 

Bengo Media is a nimble and ambitious audio production company, passionate about the content we create. We believe in nurturing people to make them the best they can be so that they are driven to create outstanding outcomes for our clients. To that end, we hire people that chime with our values. Everything else, we’ll help you learn.

Although this is a part-time role, you’ll be required to work full-time every other week in person at BBC Cymru Wales, Central Square, Cardiff. Your salary will be £26,000 per annum pro-rated which means £13,000 a year. We are committed to equal employment opportunities and to ensuring a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you have a need that we can accommodate in our hiring process, please let us know.

So, if you’re interested in helping us create some amazing content for listeners to Europe’s biggest radio station, drop us a cover letter to say why you’re the person for the job and a CV or outline of any experience you think relevant. 

Please apply at hello@bengomedia.com by Sunday, 8th September, 2024 at 5pm. The first round of interviews will take place in the week commencing 16th September.
