This is a full-time, salaried role, and it can be done fully remotely if you don’t fancy moving down to our head office in Brighton. That said,you must be based in the UKin order to apply.
Ideally, you’ll have a portfolio showing existing work of this type, but this is an entry-level position, and you don’t need to have already been employed in such a role. If the portfolio is filled with samples from your own blog, then that’s fine. A journalism or writing degree of some sort would be great, but it isn’t essential, either. We have a team of experienced writers and editors who will all work to train you in the role.
There’s no fixed deadline for getting your application in, but we’ll likely start arranging interviews in the week commencing January 24th, which at time of writing gives you about two weeks to send us your application.
