The team

Our News team delivers high quality and trustworthy television and online coverage that regularly attracts audiences in excess of 3.5 million viewers. It’s a fast moving environment with a huge variety of roles and challenges on offer. We operate in 11 main news production centres across England, Northern Ireland, Wales and the Channel Islands. We also have a Political Unit and a Weather centre based in Millbank, London. And finally, we produce a range of current affairs & factual programming out of ITV Wales, UTV and ITV Border.

The role

Are you a journalist who is passionate about getting stories out that currently aren’t being told? ITV News Calendar is looking for a multi-skilled professional with an abundance of brilliant ideas, who understands what gets the people of Yorkshire talking, and who in particular would relish the opportunity to deliver original coverage from Bradford and the surrounding area, where we currently feel underrepresented.

Bradford is England’s fifth largest metropolitan authority with a growing population and has England’s tenth largest city economy. It’s an ethnically diverse area which also has the UK’s youngest population. Bradford and the surrounding district has been named the UK’s City of Culture in 2025, and as our new reporter you will also have a vital role to play in shaping the way we cover the story over the next three years.

We’re on the search for a self-shooting reporter who will add something different to our team. We are looking for someone who can not only cover the breaking news of the day, but who, along with the rest of our team, will uncover stories with particular appeal to our many black, asian and minority ethnic viewers – bringing these stories to the mainstream.

You will be a qualified journalist, and an excellent storyteller with good camera and editing skills. This role offers you the opportunity to have your work showcased by ITV News online, as well as on television and on ITV’s new streaming service ITVX.

An ability to stay calm under pressure, inspire a team with strong creative flair and editorial judgement is essential. You will be expected to come up with your own story ideas, bring a diverse contacts book and be flexible in terms of working hours, including weekends and bank holidays.

We would prefer the successful candidate to live in the Bradford area and be happy to work predominantly from home, so that they can immerse themselves into the local community.

Your application should include a link to your latest showreel.
