Other Jobs To Apply

No other job posts for this day.

Prior to the launch of our unique online members club, which includes a curated online lifestyle magazine and global cities directory, we are now looking for aspiring writers and contributors to help with our content. Initially, we will need help crafting evocative bios for specially selected businesses in our chosen cities, but there is scope for more creative content writing, and production journalism training, for the right candidate.

Creativity, attention to detail, organisation and an eagerness to learn are essential. A degree in English or journalism is a bonus - you will be expected to write accurate, clean copy.

Work will be remote on a part-time basis.

NB: Remuneration will be nominal daily expenses for the first month as we are currently in the startup phase. After this period, assuming all parties are happy to continue, remuneration will be a modest day rate, TBD. You will also be given a reference for future employers by our founders (subject to performance), and receive guidance and training.


Qualifications
A passion for writing and a basic knowledge of CMS would be a plus. However, CMS training will be given.

A high level of English and good organisational skills are essential for this position.
