Staff member Suzanne Davis is looking forward to the recruitment of a trainee/cadet to join the team at the Twin Town Times in 2017.
Suzanne joined the TTT in 2016.
POSITION VACANT
We are seeking a genuine self-starter to work with our independent newspaper in the role of a trainee/cadet for a period of 12 months.
This position may suit a school leaver with ambition with an interest in all aspects of general news, including features.
This is your opportunity to establish yourself as a capable journalist in a town with its own identity and with a vibrant and buoyant local economy.
It is an effective operation and the successful candidate will develop digital expertise in the role, as we embrace the ongoing changes in news delivery.
Obviously you will be self-motivated, with a strong work ethic.
You will be working closely with the editor, and will also enjoy working in villages and small towns in the region.
Candidates must have excellent writing, research and news gathering skills, or show the potential to deliver that – and an enthusiastic personality to match.
A strong focus and passion for the people and issues within the community is paramount, as is the ability to quickly establish networks and connections.
We are looking for a strong team player; someone who can prioritise workloads, hit deadlines and juggle multiple assignments.
It’s hard work (so a sense of humour is handy), but it’s also greatly rewarding.
A valid driver’s licence and the ability to work flexible hours including weekends, evenings and public holidays are essential. Experience in photography and video would be highly regarded, however, will also be taught on the job.
Most of all you will want to make your paper the best it can be.
To request a position description, please email editorial@twintowntimes.com.au
To apply, please submit your application including a cover letter, resume, and at least two referees to editorial@twintowntimes.com.au
Applications close on Decemeber 30, 2016 at 5pm.
School leavers are encouraged to apply.
