Editorial Assistant

**Do you have a talent for writing, editing and admin? Do you love magazines, the web and social media? If you’re nodding your head, read on**

Yandell Publishing is a successful, independent publishing and events company based in Milton Keynes and has been going strong for 36 years.

We’re currently looking for a motivated individual to join our editorial team, covering our B2B magazines, directories, annuals, websites and events serving the food and meat industry.

The successful applicant will have excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and be a strong communicator. It goes without saying that we’re expecting a high standard of written English.

**The magazines**

The **Food Management Today**, and **Meat Management** magazines are the leading titles in their sectors, producing thought-provoking content about one of the country’s biggest industries. From interviewing a top food executive to producing a feature about a manufacturer or an independent retailer, there's lots of variety.

**What does the role involve?**

You will be writing news stories and features for the print magazines and their websites, subbing pages, creating newsletters, using social media, researching, attending events, updating databases/listings for our directories and chasing people over the phone.... it's a real mixed bag with plenty of diversity. You’ll certainly never be stuck for something to do and, from time to time, may even find yourself helping with other titles across the business if the need arises.

This role will be based at our office in Milton Keynes and the company operates a flexible working policy which includes the option to work one day a week at home.

**What do we want from you?**

**What can we offer?**

This might be a more junior position, but you will have a ton of opportunity. This is not about making people cups of tea and being a goffer, you will be writing and subbing content from the word ‘go’ and being shown the ropes so you can make your own contribution and develop ‘on the job’.
