Who are you?
You are probably just out of journalism school or have one or two years’ experience. Most likely you will be educated to degree level or equivalent and have some kind of practical journalism training or experience – perhaps postgraduate training or fast-track NCTJ qualification. Whatever your qualifications, you will be bright, well-informed, have a strong nose for news and the ability to create strong angles and engaging stories in a variety of media, from written to podcast and video.
You will have excellent social media skills, and understand the role and importance of different types of social media in amplifying stories, building contacts and connecting to audiences.
You will be as interested in business and finance as you are in social policy, and as keen on numbers and data as you are in telling great human interest stories. You will have a genuine interest in – and ideally some knowledge of – the subject matter and audiences covered by Pioneers Post on a daily basis.
You will be positive, proactive, full of ideas and willing to muck in on all sorts of tasks with the rest of our small team – from scheduling social media posts and compiling our weekly newsletters, to big-name interviews and trips to cover conferences abroad.
