Job Description
Premier League Preview are looking for new writers for our website – http://premierleaguepreview.co.uk
We provide match reports and previews for all English Premier League fixtures.
We are looking to recruit 20 new writers for the 2015/16 season. You will be assigned one team for the season and will write a 1000 word match report for the most reason game, and incorporate a preview for the next fixture. That will be the only piece of compulsory work for the position each week. Writers can write ad hoc articles to enhance their online portfolio and the reputation of the website if they like.
We are looking for dedicated, serious, hard working people. Experience in sports writing/journalism is desirable however not essential and we believe in giving young, talented writers a platform to enhance their careers.
The position is currently voluntary and we aim to keep it that way for the 2015/16 season. However we expect the website to rapidly expand in readership over the season dependant on the dedication of our writers. If that is the case, next season we expect the roles to progress into paid work. There will also be an opportunity for paid work at the end of the football season in the form of a seasonal review/report.
How to apply
Please send a cover letter describing any experience you have, why you would like to apply for the position and how you would remain motivated to deliver work for a voluntary position; to editor@premierleaguepreview.co.uk.
We aim to respond to all applications.
