Radio is all about personality.

And right now, London’s Heart Breakfast is looking for the best around.

Sure – we already have one of the most recognised personalities in the world and one of the greatest breakfast hosts in modern UK radio – but they need the best of the best producers.

Now this is a big ask, but this is a big job.

You don’t get these opportunities often… so if you’ve been waiting – thinking “yeah, well those jobs just never come up”… yeah, well… guess what.
