• Load the audio, set up the playlist, and trim the clips;
• Create the right conditions for the presenters in the studio so they can get the most out of the program.

This is you: 

• Excited about the principles of NPO Blend and the NTR;
• Familiar with FunX from 15 years ago;
• A producer or creator with a strong sense of radio who loves the mix of music we want to offer at Blend;
• Skilled in writing radio scripts;

We offer:  

A contract through December 31, 2024, with the possibility of extension. Depending on knowledge and experience, this position is compensated within salary grade G (€3,118.48 – €4,757.41) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement for broadcasting personnel.  

We value ambition and are happy to support your professional growth. Do you want to advance in your career, try something different, or learn something new? NTR offers plenty of opportunities for this within the company, but thanks to our training budgets and your personal career budget (€1,000 every 5 years), we believe that professional development should extend beyond the workplace as well. 

NTR offers a 6% December bonus, 8% vacation pay, a travel allowance, over 5 weeks of vacation per year, annual salary increases, a group pension plan, and a monthly contribution toward your health insurance.

Finally, NTR strives to foster an inclusive organizational culture that reflects the diversity of our society. An environment where everyone feels at home and connected contributes to job satisfaction and provides ample room for inspiration and creativity. We believe in the unique value of every individual, which is why our job openings are open to everyone.
