| Contract | Permanent, part-time |

| Commission | 7.5% of the first-year value of every contract you sell, uncapped |

| The role |
A part-time sales job that fits around the school day, with proper training and earnings that reward results.
Get Radio helps Oxfordshire businesses reach local customers through radio advertising and sponsorship. We’re growing. A local newsroom is on the way, our digital offering is expanding and we’re building an app.
You’ll talk to local business owners, find out what they need and help them reach more customers. You don’t need to have worked in sales before. You need to be comfortable picking up the phone, curious about how businesses work and willing to learn. We’ll teach you the rest.
| What you’ll do |
- Call and email local businesses that haven’t heard from us before, and start conversations with their owners.
- Book meetings, by video or in person, to understand what each business wants to achieve.
- Recommend the right advertising: annual airtime campaigns and, for larger clients, sponsorship packages.
- Take each deal from first contact through proposal and agreement.
- Keep clear records of who you’ve spoken to and what happens next.
- Hand new advertisers over to the Get Radio team so they get a good start.
Some client meetings mean travelling within Oxfordshire during your working hours. Business networking events are occasional and optional.
| Targets and earnings |
At full pace, your target is one airtime campaign a week and four sponsorships a year. You’ll build up to that over your first 90 days.
| Period | Focus |
| Month 1 | Training, product knowledge and building your prospect list. Activity targets only |
| Month 2 | Booking meetings and closing your first campaigns |
| Month 3 onwards | Full pace: one airtime campaign a week, plus sponsorships as they come |
You earn 7.5% commission on the first-year value of everything you sell, with no cap.
| Sale | Your commission |
| Each airtime campaign | 7.5% of its first-year value |
| Each sponsorship | 7.5% of its first-year value. Sponsorships are our largest deals |
| A year at target | Around £21,000 commission + £15,188 basic = around £36,000 |
People who sell more than the target earn more.
| Training and coaching |
You won’t be left to work it out alone. An experienced sales director will train and coach you from day one.
- Your first weeks are in person in Eynsham: how radio advertising works, who buys it and how to run a sales conversation.
- Weekly one-to-one coaching on your calls, meetings and pipeline.
- Daily check-ins with the team keep you connected while you work from home.
- Clear feedback on how you’re doing against your targets, and help where you’re stuck.
| What we’re looking for |
We care more about how you approach people than about your CV.
| Essential | Useful, but not required |
| Confident on the phone, including with people who aren’t expecting your call | Experience in sales, customer service, hospitality, retail or any role where you’ve persuaded people |
| Resilient: you can hear no several times a day and keep going | Experience working towards targets |
| Comfortable talking about money and asking for a decision | Knowledge of local Oxfordshire businesses |
| Organised, with reliable follow-up | Experience in radio, advertising or business-to-business sales |
| Able to manage your own time when working from home | |
| Keen to learn and open to feedback |
| What you’ll get |
- Fixed hours of 9am to 2pm, Monday to Friday. No evenings or weekends.
- Home-based working after your initial training.
- Uncapped commission.
- 28 days’ paid holiday including bank holidays.
- Workplace pension.
- Laptop provided.
- Full training and ongoing coaching.
