Editorial Partnerships Journalist (Maternity Cover)

This maternity cover role is initially for 9 - 12 months and is home based, open to candidates across the UK. You will decide which stories to promote and when to schedule them to maximize audience reach, selecting the most effective formats for curated pieces. You will respond decisively to breaking news and work across a variety of platforms quickly and efficiently. You will publish content online to the highest standard, ensuring Reach digital publishing standards are met, IPSO guidelines are upheld, and every piece is legally sound.

You will drive follower growth across all our titles through the platforms including but not limited to Google Showcase, Apple News, WhatsApp and Facebook. Though you will not be sourcing and writing stories yourself, you will have a keen news sense and the ability to spot which stories to promote and push across various platforms. This role includes shift and weekend working, typically involving 1 weekend in every three, so a flexible approach is required.
