Are you passionate about helping the next generation of readers to discover books and ideas that can change their lives? Do you have a knack for organisation and a keen eye for detail?
From Malorie Blackman to Adam Kay, Jeff Kinney and Katie Kirby, Philip Pullman to Karen McManus, the Puffin team work with some of the biggest names and the bestselling authors to bring to life books that change and shape lives. We have a fantastic opportunity for a creative, highly organised and enthusiastic individual to join the team who create and publish non-fiction and fiction books for readers aged 6 and upwards as an Editorial Assistant.
**The Role**
In this role you will provide full administrative support to the Publishing Director, and some editorial and administrative support to them and the wider Editorial team, liaising with colleagues, authors, agents and internal departments on a daily basis. You will often be the point of contact for the team and be responsible for a wide range of tasks including diary management, reading and reporting on submissions, managing and maintaining departmental systems and dealing with author and agent enquiries.
**What You’ll Bring**
The team is looking for an enthusiastic, curious and confident, hard-working self-starter - someone who is full of ideas and who wants to immerse themselves fully in the titles that our Children’s team publish. You will need to demonstrate proven administration and organisational skills, pay meticulous attention to detail, and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
What you’ll get in return is a collaborative team that will champion your ideas, support your creativity and give you the opportunity to work with some of the best-known authors in the world. This is an excellent opportunity to kick start your career in Publishing.
**Application Instructions**:
In this role, you’ll often be tasked with reading and reporting on new manuscripts that have been submitted for potential publication by the team. We’d like to see your style and opinions, so please write us a book review of a book you’ve recently read, and convince us why we should read it too, outlining what other books it might sit alongside. Please spend no more than 300 words in answering this question as part of your cover letter.
**What you can expect from us**
**Salary**:£27,500, plus bonus and benefits
**Competitive benefits package**: Our people are the heart of our business, and we work hard to support a culture of responsibility and recognition.
Our benefits include:
Financial - discounted shopping, season ticket loan, rental deposit loan
Wellbeing - healthcare cash plan, employee assistance, gym loan
Lifestyle - taste card, tech scheme, free and discounted books
**About Penguin**:We’re the UK’s largest publisher; made up of some 2,000 people and publishing over 1,500 books each year. Our doors are open to all kinds of talent. In a constantly evolving industry, we work hard to stretch the definition of the word publisher. Here, you’ll work with a breadth of talent who all play their part to make each of our books a success. Together, we make books for everyone because a book can change anyone.
**Hybrid working**:We’re experimenting with a hybrid way of working that suits the needs of each team. While our offices across the UK are places to connect, collaborate and celebrate with colleagues, we recognise that flexibility around where you work is just as important. For this role we expect that you'll work from the office at least three days a week.
