As a Staff Writer, you will be publishing multiple stories a day on a broad variety of topics.

About you

You will have a 2:1 degree from a British university and writing experience, either for student media or other publications, with a keen interest in a career in journalism or writing. You will be full of ideas ready to write on The Tab, and engage with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube on a daily basis. You love memes. You will be numbers driven, and thrive off ambitious page views and publishing volume targets.

Here’s why you should apply:

• You’ll receive £20,000 a year, with pay review after the first year

• You’ll get 25 days holiday per year (plus bank holidays)

• You’ll get your own company MacBook

• You’ll be working in a young, driven office, where the average age of the team is 23
