Reporter

The Swindon Advertiser is looking for a top-class reporter who is passionate about digital storytelling, hard-working, full of ideas and has a desire to come up with innovative ways of presenting stories across various platforms. We are seeking an ambitious, digitally skilled, and versatile journalist to unearth the best breaking news, features, leisure, and trending stories from this exciting patch. A major part of the job will also be immersing yourself in the town as well as on social media, developing relationships and understanding what matters to the local community. We want to tell the stories our audiences care about - from covering crime and local politics to informing powerful human interest stories and championing the best of our readers. You will also ask the questions that hold power to account and want to play a part in helping communities build back following the pandemic. The job will primarily be based at our Swindon office - but you will be required to get out on patch and we are flexible about home working. The successful applicant will find themselves working at one of the best performing centres in the company, driving forward on its digital growth and working with some of the best in the business as well as in an exciting patch where good journalists can make a name for themselves and really cut their teeth early in their career.
