Wessex FM is offering an exciting opportunity to join our local news team.

We are looking for a qualified broadcast radio journalist or graduate to work on a part time basis at our station in Dorchester, Dorset. (Minimum of 20 hours per week)

The role will involve producing trusted and memorable online local news content for our website www.wessexfm.com as well as material for broadcast in our news bulletins.
