NCTJ QUALIFIED
LIVERPOOL
OFFICE BASED - FLEXITIME AND HYRID WORKING AVAILABLE AFTER PROBATION
£24-30K DOE + HIGH BONUS
EXTENSIVE BENFEITS
Revolution Recruitment Resources Ltd is currently recruiting for an NCTJ Qualified Journalist for our client, a massively reputable and revered Digital Marketing, Media and Journalism company based in Liverpool.
THE COMPANY
This company has many connections to extremely high profile publications and aims to keep expanding their ever growing presence in the market by adding an ambitious Journalist to their already massively creative team. They always like to keep their work interesting and intellectually stimulating and will give the chosen candidate a wide birth on what they wish to cover.
THE ROLE
The role involves conducting in-depth research and investigations on various topics relating to client websites. Much of this research involves Freedom of Information requests, interviews and surveys.
On a day to day basis, you will work with others in the team to identify potential campaign ideas. You will then conduct research, compile and analyse the results, and present them to the media in the form of press releases, pitches and phone calls.
With the company being an SEO agency, one of their main aims of promoting these stories is to acquire links to our websites and articles. Part of the role will involve liaising with journalists and editors to get these links included.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
? The ideal candidate would have a minimum of 1 year of experience in a similar role.
? A degree in journalism or an NTCJ qualification is preferred, but otherwise, a good grasp of journalistic writing and media law will be considered.
? Experience making Freedom Of Information Requests and analysing data.
? Attention to detail is a big part of this role. You will be expected to research and analyse raw data and write sometimes complex and technical content that requires a sharp editorial eye.
? Conducting research also forms a huge part of this role. Experience in research and
scrutinising data sources is therefore essential. We would like you to demonstrate initiative and to devise and propose your own campaign strategies.
? Organisation is also vital. You will be responsible for your workload and will, once training is completed, be assigned a monthly target, which is tied into a bonus scheme.
? The company pride themselves on their friendly, sociable and laid back atmosphere, so strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential. They are a close-knit team that supports each other in every aspect of their jobs. They seek people who are willing to go above and beyond for their colleagues.
If you feel you are the right candidate for this role, please apply with your CV and a member of our team will be in touch if you should be successful.
