CLOSING DATE: January 31, 2020
HERE, at the Campbeltown Courier, we pride ourselves on producing quality grassroots journalism.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a bright, passionate and hard-working trainee to join our small, busy team.
The person we are looking for will ideally have passed their NCTJ prelims, including shorthand, be multi-media literate and unafraid of hard work.
We are passionate about good local journalism and like our reporters to get out into the local community, meeting people face-to-face, sourcing the best stories.
You should be bursting with ideas and have an eye for a good story, understand the importance of fostering great contacts and knowing your patch, and be capable of working on your own initiative as well as part of a team.
You should also hold a full driving licence.
As well as writing for the newspaper, you will be expected to take photographs on the job, as well as contribute to our social media channels and podcasts.
In return for all this we offer a competitive salary, great experience and training, as well as an enhanced pension.
Please apply by email, sending your CV, plus a covering letter and some examples of your work to: Alison Arden – ali@obantimes.co.uk
