Journalism.co.uk has a posting for a reporter for Meat Trades Journal. How awesome would that be?

And still on the same site, FT Business needs a Dutch-speaking reporter. Must speak Dutch. Obviously.

That's it for today!

Job Roundup - May 23

On the Guardian site, the British Museum needs an e-learning editor for one day a week, so good for you freelancers. The museum is also looking for a New Media Creative Author, which sounds like a web copy writer based on the description. They are looking for "creativity" rather than techie knowledge.

Still with the Guardian, something called Inframation is looking for senior reporters and researchers.

Journalism.co.uk has a post for a trainee/intern equity reporter.

Also on that site, Future publishing is heavily advertising for their new launch, with posts for a subeditor and staff writers (based in Bath.) If you want to write/work for an entertainment magazine/site, and don't mind living in Bath, it's worth looking into this one. In fact, if you're willing to move to Bath, Future publishing is partially based there, so go to their jobs site, as they have many postings for the city...

Along with the usual stack-and-a-half of jobs from recruiter PFJ, Press Gazette has an interesting posting for a reporter with six months experience for a defense publication. Also a non-PFJ job for reporter at an environmental publication called ReNew, located in Cheltenham (where is that? Too lazy to Google).

Jobsite has a posting from recruiter Media Types for a subeditor with design skills.

Macmillian publishers are looking for an editorial assistant.

Reed Business Information has a posting for an online environment reporter for New Scientist. You'll need a good background for this one...


And, a new London alternative weekly paper has launched, called Penny, and they're looking for interns...

And noticed a job in Metro on the way into work... The freesheet is looking for an editorial assistant. I can't find their jobs section on their website, so I'll post the full details, but pick up your own copy if you want to see it in their words. It is not a writing position; it is purely administrative. The role consists of: general office duties, reader enquiries, photocopying, post, library maintenance. Must have an excellent phone manner and be good with microsoft word, as well as ability to balance workload and maintain a high degree of accuracy (whatever that means). Job goes Sunday to Thursday. Email CV and a letter explaining why you are worth a first interview to francesca.dickenson@ukmetro.co.uk by May 31.

Job Update - May 22

Tons of jobs on the Guardian's jobsite, including the paper itself, which is looking for a trainee commissioning editor for a six-month term at their Weekend magazine. You must have two-years experience. Apply by June 2.

The Guardian is also looking for a subeditor (with two to three year's experience) and a business subeditor.

Still on Guardian's jobs website, Sage Publications is looking for a production editor with one year's experience or a publishing qualification.

Still on Gjobs, Future publishing has posted jobs for a news reporter (likely the same one listed on this site a week or so ago) with a few years experience.

For medical, nursing and bioscience grads, there's a good-sounding editorial assistant position.

And there're postings for an assistant editor for an optometry magazine, a copy editor for an international B2B, a production junior, and designers for sports publications. And "a young, enthusiastic reporter/writer for two technical magazines produced in London" which involve tyres and polyurethanes.

...or, you could just buy the Guardian today.

Press Gazette has a billion jobs up, and they're all sub-editor/reporter/staff writer types of similar description, so I can't remember which I've posted previously or not. I'll leave you to figure it out. Most are posted by recruiters PFJ.

On PFJ's site, they have postings for an editorial assistant for someone with six-month's experience, an editorial assistant with an entertainment site, and a reporter with a year's experience, among others.

Jobsin has a posting for an editorial assistant for a legal publication -- the advert begins on a misspelling, so take that as you will. They also have a posting for an online content editor.

And Media-Types has a posting for an editorial assistant for an online medical publisher.

And a note: PFJ has waaay too many jobs going up for me to list them all here without repeating a bunch or missing some. So to keep you from applying twice or missing something good, and then getting pissed off at me, I'll leave it up to you. I'll still post the most interesting ones, and let you check their site, and the other places they post (ie, Guardian, Independent jobs, Press Gazette) on your own.
