Radio Maria England is expanding and is looking for talented people with a passion for spreading the Gospel and elevating the culture to join its committed team.

The Technical and Editorial Operational Assistant plays a fundamental role in ensuring the smooth day to day running of live broadcasting and the preparation of these programmes for subsequent rebroadcast on air and through the Listen Again and Podcast channels. The postholder also has responsibility for the management of outside broadcasts using mobile studios and for liaising with volunteers to assist with the same. In addition, the postholder will have responsibility for developing ways to make programming more easily accessible across a range of other media platforms, to draw more listeners to the Radio and podcasts

Live Radio is an exciting but also pressurised environment. The successful candidate must have a capacity for working to deadlines and have a willingness to help in areas of work outside of their day-to-day responsibilities when necessary.

Ideally the successful candidate will have some familiarity with most of the software and hardware used, and must be someone with the technical aptitude to be able to familiarise themselves with new technologies with relative ease. Training and assistance will be provided in the short-term to become familiar with existing systems. Technical support will also be available from the Word Family of Radio Maria when necessary.
