The coronavirus crisis has affected many and brought the importance of radio to the fore. During the past few months, Classic FM has had a surge in digital listening and, in the first three months of 2020, Classic FM achieved its highest hours and share for 13 years. Recently the station has broadcast an exclusive interview with Dame Judi Dench, commemorated the 75th anniversary of VE Day, launched a new weekday programme hosted by Alexander Armstrong, and welcomed HRH The Prince of Wales as a guest presenter.

The day to day responsibilities will depend on the skills of the candidate. We encourage applications from a diverse range of backgrounds, and those who have built a career in radio or in classical music, but you're in an advantageous position if you've experience in both of these fields. It's important to stress that it's not necessary to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of classical music - we have that covered - but you should have a passion for, and understanding of, the music played on Classic FM. You may be working on live programmes, on producing specialist output, on selecting music for a range of programmes, and it's highly likely that you'll produce programmes hosted by some of our well-known weekend presenters such as Myleene Klass, Bill Turnbull or Alan Titchmarsh.

Who you'll be working with... * Classic FM's Managing Editor and Classic FM's Executive Producer * Our team of presenters and producers * Other colleagues from across other parts of the brand: for example, digital and commercial #LI-POST
