Content writers x2 – Rhotic Media Ltd (London or Essex)

Are you just getting started in your journalism career?

You might have clocked up a year or two in your first job, or have a substantial body of work experience amassed while training?

If this sounds like you…. read on….

Rhotic Media is a business content agency serving clients in financial media and financial services. We are building out our multi-award winning content delivery team.

At Rhotic, quality and service are the key ingredients to our business. We are looking for journalists with a great skill and personality to support our clients.

The work is hugely varied. One week you might be writing news for a financial publisher, the next you might be covering a conference in Edinburgh or writing up a webinar transcript into a feature. You’ll be tackling a mix of editorial and corporate writing briefs.

Our business has several revenue lines – content strategy, content production and content training. We also produce our own magazine, Financial Promoter.

WHAT WE OFFER

Rhotic Media has a dedicated delivery team of content writers and strategists. We are currently seeking TWO writers for this team.

If you’re looking to join a company where the work is varied, then this is the job for you.

We offer a competitive salary and the opportunity to be a part of a team that is committed to building a company that cares about its employees, its clients and broader society.

We want our staff to feel financially secure, so we pay salaries to reflect this. Salaries are grouped into bands, based on experience. Salaries are standardised across the board, with no discrimination based on your gender, race, sexuality, or social background.

You will be based in one of our offices (London or Essex) two days each week, but you are welcome to work from home for the rest of the week. We provide laptops and mobile phones to assist with remote working.

Our pension scheme is with the National Employment Savings Trust and staff are eligible for the pension scheme from their first day. All of our team are covered by the confidential Rhotic Media Employee Assistance Scheme. This service, run by an external provider, offers free access to professionals in the legal, medical, financial and well-being sectors, should they require any help with their life outside of work.

WHO WE WANT

For this role, we are seeking a journalist or writer with a good knowledge of how to structure a news story, a feature and a blog.

If you’ve got experience writing commercial features or thought leadership reports, that is a big plus, but we’re keen to hear from anyone who thinks this role might be for them.

As a signatory to the Social Mobility Pledge, we are not prescriptive about educational background, but we would anticipate that the right candidate would be able to demonstrate relevant skills or experience. We will consider candidates that do not fit this brief entirely, but we ask that those applying from different backgrounds offer convincing reasons why they should be considered. We would also consider a job share for this role.

How to apply

Interested parties should email Joe McGrath with their CV or LinkedIn profile and a covering letter explaining why they feel the role, and the company, would be a good fit for them. Please mention the NCTJ jobs board when applying for this role.
