Positive Action Scheme 2024

3 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Guardian News & Media Full time

The Guardian and Observer believe there should be a better representation of our diverse society in the media, and each summer we run a two-week work-experience scheme for those considering a career in journalism.

This year our London office is running a paid work shadowing scheme for applicants with **disabilities**.

You'll learn about different aspects of journalism, shadow journalists, assist editors with research tasks and have a chance to pitch story ideas. You will see up close the daily discussions and decision-making which help create our newspaper and website.

Sections you'll experience might include Features, Multimedia, Sport, Podcasting, Business/Consumer, or Environment. You'll also have an experienced journalist as a mentor, to offer advice on your future career.

We want the placements, which last two weeks during June or July, to be accessible to as many people as possible and will do our best to accommodate any reasonable adjustments you may need.

And if office working is not possible for you, we'll aim to offer the chance to work remotely. If you'd like to be considered for a remote scheme, please add a note at the end of your covering letter.

**Criteria**

To be considered for a placement you must be at least 18 years old, with the right to work or train in the UK, and be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in journalism - for example, serious involvement in student journalism, work experience on local/specialist media, or an impressive personal website or blog.

For applicants who have no access to accommodation in London, the Sarah Hughes Trust has kindly offered to provide a small number of grants. If you'd like to be considered for one of these, please add a note at the end of your covering letter.

**Application instructions**

Please attach the following three things within **ONE **Word document:

- A covering letter (no more than 150 words) explaining how you qualify for this diversity scheme, why you're applying, and what you hope to learn from your time with us. If there's a particular section (or sections) you'd like to work in, please let us know and we'll try to place you there
- Your current CV
- A 400-word feature or comment article on a current issue which you believe will be of interest to Guardian readers.
- **Positive action is covered by section 158 of the Equality Act 2010**

We value and respect all differences (seen and unseen) in all people at the Guardian. We aspire to have inclusive working experiences and an environment that reflects the audience we serve, where our people have equal access to career development opportunities, their voices are heard and can contribute to our future.
