You might be an early career media professional or a recent arts, media or communications graduate. We are after aptitude and attitude over experience, and will support you to grow and develop in the role.
- First and foremost, you are a writer who wants to pursue a career with language and storytelling at its heart.
- You’re excited to work in a media environment and are energised by working with others.
- Finally, you care about the why as much as the what - making a positive difference in the world is in your DNA.
