The BBC is recruiting for two lead presenters, a chief news correspondent, an innovation correspondent, a news organiser and reporters for its new hour-long news programme covering Scotland.

The 9pm nightly bulletin will run on the new BBC Scotland channel, which was announced in February last year. It was set to broadcast from autumn this year, but has been delayed to February next year.

Ofcom gave the channel a provisional green light in April. It has a programme budget of just over £32m a year and is expected to create 80  new jobs for journalists.
