Vibe 107.6 FM is looking for new talent to present our Breakfast and Drive Shows!

Have you got the experience and commitment to join our dedicated team of presenters?

Could you be the voice of Vibe 107.6 FM’s Breakfast Show and wake up listeners, amusing them from 6am - 9am with the best music playlist, fun features and competitions? (Ideally, you will be able to present on Wednesday mornings.) Or would you prefer to present Drive, with a friendly but energetic attitude to entertain our listeners from 5pm – 7pm? To be involved, you will need to be at the studio from 4.30pm when presenting Drive, however there is some flexibility regarding the days worked.

Breakfast and Drive are key shows at Vibe 107.6 FM, setting the tone for the rest of the station. You will be talking to a wide range of listeners, so your content needs to be fun, fresh and appealing. Confidence, enthusiasm, commitment and the skills to present live on air in the morning/evening are vital. You will be trusted to present to a large audience and be responsible for providing regular travel bulletins.

It is expected that you will involve your audience through social media, texts and on air. Therefore you will need to put in the time to be creative, take ownership and get really stuck in. People who only want to introduce songs need not apply!

Requirements:

• Previous experience presenting in commercial/community/student radio, using commercial standard radio broadcasting equipment. (Ideally on a Breakfast or Drive show).

• A passion for radio and an interest in Vibe 107.6 FM and South West Herts.

• A confident and enthusiastic sounding voice.

• Very good organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to multitask.

• Excellent and fun ideas for content and features.

• Knowledge of and enthusiasm for new commercial chart music.

• Be punctual and committed with the ability to wake up early for the Breakfast Show (6am – 9am), and/or be available from 4.30pm – 7pm on weekdays for Drive.

• Adaptable to change as well as being quick to find a solution to any problems.

So, if you think you have what it takes for either or both of these roles along with the experience, then apply to join our team of presenters here at Vibe 107.6 FM!

Please note that as a non-for-profit radio station, this is a voluntary role. You must be over 18 years of age to apply and live in Hertfordshire or the surrounding boroughs. (Vibe 107.6 FM is located less than 5 minutes walk from Watford Junction station and within walking distance - approx. 20 minutes - from Watford Metropolitan tube station).

If you would like to be considered for either of these roles, please email your CV and a short demo (up to 2 minutes) to vacancies@vibe1076.com. The demo should be of you presenting a show or a recording of you showing us how passionate you are about music, the local area and presenting. In addition, please include a short paragraph on why you want to get involved at Vibe 107.6 FM, highlighting your relevant experience and availability.

The deadline for applications is midnight on Sunday 19^th February 2017.

"'Volunteering at Vibe 107.6 FM is an amazing experience for anyone looking to improve their presenting skills and radio confidence. I had only worked in TV prior to joining them and the difference between on-screen and radio presenting is so different! It's a skill that I am still working on now and I do so with amazing support from the whole team at Vibe 107.6 FM. Presenting the breakfast show really threw me in at the deep end and I loved it! The freedom to grow and develop my skills is something I will always be grateful for". Sabrina Chakici, the Host of E! UK & Ireland.

"I knew nothing about radio when I first started volunteering at Vibe 107.6 FM but after 3 years I have left the station to work as a full time presenter for a national radio station! Volunteering at Vibe 107.6 FM has taught me so many skills and has really enhanced my presenting skills plus I've met lots of great people along the way. It's a fab station and is really well known amongst other commercial stations which is a huge bonus! I've enjoyed every minute there and I know that anyone else who volunteers at the station will feel the same!"​ Rezzy Ghadjar, Heat Radio presenter.
