London, United Kingdom The Independent Full time

About us The Independent is an online news publisher that was established in 1986 as a national newspaper independent of party political affiliations or proprietorial influence. In 2016, The Independent became a fully digital publisher, moving away from print in pursuit of sustainability, and to safeguard its values and journalism for the future.
The Independent has always thrived through innovation and change. It was the first British newspaper to add a Saturday magazine; the first to give photography the same prestige as a news copy; the first to launch a concise quality compact paper; and the first – and only – major newspaper to pull off a successful transformation to fully digital publishing.
Through The Independent, Independent TV, eCommerce, indy100, subscriptions and other ‘reader revenues’, The Independent plans to continue the work of many decades, bringing much-needed independent journalism to over 100 million unique global visitors a month, make its voice ever louder and more insistent the world over.
We have an international editorial team with our main offices in London and New York.

The Independent is seeking a sports reporter with a deep knowledge across a wide range of sports.

This is a desk-first role with some scope to cover live sporting events.
Typically reporting on the biggest talking points in sport, the successful candidate will be genuinely enthusiastic about the happenings in sport on and off the pitch. The right candidate will be a trained journalist with a strong news background and the ability to identify the best stories alongside a familiarity with all aspects of digital publishing.

The right candidate will be comfortable both in the news room and at matches and events on occasions depending on the sport calendar and schedule. You will be expected to be comfortable managing multiple priorities in a calm manner, while being able to thrive during breaking and changing news situations. Expertise in a particular sport is encouraged, although a good understanding of many sports is essential.

The position is hybrid and based at our London headquarters.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We champion diversity in our teams and in our reporting. As a growing and global brand, we must have a workforce that’s more representative of our readers, viewers, clients and partners, and a workplace that creates a sense of belonging for everyone
