Covering crown and magistrates courts, you will be working for titles including the Worcester News, Malvern Gazette and Evesham Journal in what is a very newsy patch.

The successful applicant for this role needs to be an enthusiastic self-starter who can find stories, make contacts and fit in with our hard-working team, writing across print, web and social media.
