The experience could be accredited with relevant media and journalism qualifications, and a letter of reference can be provided.

The role is initially unpaid, however, as we expand our editorial output we hope to develop a full-time in-house role for the right candidate. We wouldn’t expect any work-related or out-of-pocket costs to arise, however, these would of course be covered if necessary.

Some skills and specifications that would be highly regarded include:

  • Experience in a writing role in the arts, publishing or entertainment industry
  • Knowledge of the music and arts scene in Sydney and beyond
  • Excellent verbal communication skills
  • Excellent written skills including editing, spelling, and grammar
  • Excellent organisational and interpersonal skills

The job specification looks something like this:

  • Researching relevant and interesting news stories
  • Write highly compelling articles to strict deadlines
  • Develop high-quality features and conduct compelling interviews

To apply, email [email protected] with your CV and cover letter. We look forward to hearing from you!
