Glitz and glamour – standing outside courts or at a rugby match in the pouring rain is sometimes more typical of the work we do than hobnobbing with the stars! You will also be asked to get on the phone and to get the tea, so be prepared!

Working in an environment where there are clear and never changing parameters– the broadcasting industry is forever changing
