Please note that this is a contract role from January 2025 to the end of March 2025.

Ofcom is the regulator for the communications services that we use and rely on each day. We make sure people get the best from their broadband, home phone and mobile services, as well as keeping an eye on TV and radio.
We pride ourselves on being an organisation of people who genuinely care about helping others.
Almost all of us use online services every day of our lives, enjoying the wide array of benefits that the internet has to offer – from the free flow of news and information, opportunities for self-expression and global community, to commercial opportunities for businesses. However, online services also have the power to lead to significant harm to users. Almost all of us have also experienced harmful content or behaviour online.
The Online Safety Act passed in October 2023, bringing Ofcom new powers to protect UK citizens from harm online. We have also published consultations on how to protect users from illegal content, and children from other harmful content, online. There has never been a more meaningful and exciting time to join Ofcom and help deliver one of the most rewarding programmes in the history of our organisation. We pride ourselves on being an organisation of people who genuinely care about helping others.
This copy editor role sits in the Policy Development team within the Online Safety Group.
In May we published our proposals on how we will protect children from harms online. This consultation set out our approach to implementing the children’s safety provisions in the new online safety regime and proposed steps that online services would need to take to keep children safer online, as part of their duties under the Online Safety Act.
We are looking for a copy editor who can review large policy documents as we prepare our policy statement on the above. Review and edit large policy documents for clarity, coherence, and consistency.
Work closely with policy leads to understand the content and context of the documents.
Manage multiple editing projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines.
Excellent written communication skills – demonstrable ability to communicate complex concepts in simple and accessible terms for the regulatory documents you will be reviewing.
Able to manage and handle competing demands within a varied and changing workload, using own initiative to plan, organise, prioritise, and recognise when to escalate risks.
Have strong attention to detail and accuracy and take pride in making sure your work is of the appropriate quality.
