Hybrid Work
This is a hybrid role linked to our Canary Wharf hub, but a full-time work-from-home contract could be considered in some circumstances.
The Role
You will edit copy for print editions of the Mirror (and Express as needed), ensuring all content is polished, precise and impactful. You will ensure copy fits allocated space while maintaining clarity and flow, consistently translating complex information into clear, plain English. Beyond refining the narrative, you will craft accurate and effective headlines that capture our readers' attention. A rigorous approach to fact‑checking is essential, as is the ability to adapt seamlessly to breaking news by updating stories quickly and accurately as events unfold.
You will ensure every piece of copy strictly adheres to house style and internal company guidelines. Furthermore, you will act as a key checkpoint for quality control by ensuring all content is legally sound and fully compliant with IPSO guidelines. By balancing speed with a meticulous eye for detail, you will ensure our output remains professional, ethical and of the highest quality.
This role will involve working nine shifts a fortnight on a rolling rota, including regular weekend work, so a flexible approach is required.
Who We’re Looking For
You are a seasoned sub‑editor with experience working in a similar national newsroom environment, who combines sharp editorial judgment with creative flair. You have the skill and judgment to decide instantly whether copy can be left unchanged or requires a complete, high‑speed overhaul to meet the exacting standards of a national newspaper. You have an uncompromising eye for detail, an understanding of media law and a track record of working to strict, demanding deadlines.
Benefits
* 30 days' holiday (including bank holidays) as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years.
* Extra day's paid leave each year to volunteer for a cause close to your community or your heart.
* Big moment day – an extra day's paid leave for a moment that matters to you – like getting married, moving house or welcoming a new addition to the family (human or furry!).
* We match company pension contributions up to 6% and accept salary sacrifice.
* Supportive and progressive people policies, including enhanced family leave and policies to promote flexibility, inclusion and progression.
* A healthcare cash plan – giving you money back for a range of medical expenses and fast access to doctor's appointments.
* Car lease scheme – buy a brand new electric or hybrid car through our leasing partner, pay through salary sacrifice.
* Wellbeing support – 24/7 assistance programme for you and your family.
* Access to discounts – 15% off with Reach's online marketplace, Yimbly, for homewares, beauty products, etc.
* Interest‑free loans – including for season tickets and technology.
