Job title: Trainee editor
Salary: £10 per hour
Hours: Full-time (35 hours per week)
Location: New Mills
Closing date: 27 May 2022
We are looking for someone to join our close-knit team of editors.
Overview
We believe that everyone should have access to clear and concise information. Our editors transform documents by getting rid of jargon, legalese and overly formal or complicated language, to make documents clear and understandable. The range of documents we edit means that the work is varied and interesting.
Duties
Initially the role will involve providing support to the editing department, including general office duties, proofreading and updating Excel spreadsheets, alongside training to become a plain-English editor.
Job requirements
Due to the specialised nature of our work, no previous experience is necessary. The successful candidate will be given specific training in plain-English techniques.
Candidates need to have:
- a high standard of education;
- excellent communication skills;
- experience of using Microsoft Office, particularly Word; and
- an aptitude for relaying important information in a clear way that is appropriate to the reader.
