  • Delivering to tight deadlines while maintaining the highest editorial standards.
  • You need to be adept at technology, picking up new skills and adapting to the changing demands of a digital working environment.
  • The role requires occasional weekend working and early/late start times.


Are you the right candidate?

The ideal candidate will meet the following criteria:

  • Have sound editorial judgement, making decisions on matters of editorial sensitivity under pressure. You should be curious in your approach to delivering original journalism.
  • Able to write clean, accurate and concise copy with quick turnaround times, for publication on the BBC website.
  • Be familiar with social media in a news context and know how to make the most of various platforms to reach a range of audiences
  • Understanding of SEO within a news context to help our stories reach the people most interested in and impacted by them.

  • A keen eye for strong imagery to make stories standout online and be able do basic photo editing.
