BBC Radio Nottingham is looking for a dynamic, creative and fearless Breakfast Presenter to lead our flagship morning show. This is a rare opportunity to become the voice that wakes up Nottinghamshire, guiding our audiences through the biggest stories, the brightest characters, and the best of life across our amazing county.

Every day is different on the Nottingham breakfast programme. One minute you’re reacting to a seismic moment in local politics or breaking news from a busy patch, the next you’re capturing the mood of fans after a dramatic night at the City Ground, Meadow Lane or Field Mill. You’ll bring energy, wit and warmth to every show setting the tone for the day and giving audiences a reason to start their morning with us.

We serve a county that’s vibrant, diverse and famously proud of its roots. From the bustle of Nottingham city centre to the legends of Sherwood Forest, BBC Radio Nottingham reflects everything great about our patch while shining a light on the things that need fixing. We hold power to account, ask the questions that matter, champion our communities and celebrate the people who make Nottinghamshire unique.

Being part of the BBC Radio Nottingham team means joining a passionate, supportive newsroom that cares deeply about its patch. You’ll make a real impact every day, shaping conversations across Nottinghamshire and connecting with audiences who rely on us. You’ll grow as a journalist and broadcaster, working with creative colleagues who push boundaries and champion new ideas. It’s a place where you can develop your craft, take risks, and be truly proud of the work you do.
