Reporter – Worcester
We are looking for a bright, enthusiastic journalist to join our Worcester newsroom.
We are constantly looking for the best stories to serve our growing digital audience – whether by interviewing people, responding to breaking news, attending court and public meetings or scouring social media.
The ideal candidate will be digitally talented and able to capture videos and images as well as write clean, accurate copy.
