It’s not for the faint-hearted and over the 18 month apprenticeship you will face many challenges - but the rewards, opportunities and career satisfaction are great too.

We’re looking for bright, enthusiastic, energetic, adaptable, flexible, creative  and hard-working digitally-savvy 18-24 year-olds.

You’ll need to be a people-person who wants to tell stories that will engage our readers in print and online but you’ll also be keen to take advantage of the opportunities that technology gives to tell those stories in new ways.

It goes without saying that you will be interested in the world around you and have a high standard of written English as well as excellent verbal communication skills.

You could be a school-leaver - a minimum of 5 GCSE A-Cs including English and Maths and two A levels are required - already in work and seeking a new challenge or a graduate (though without NCTJ qualifications).
