    Default job background
    Description

    Reports to:
    Politics Editor


    Location:
    Hybrid working based Finsbury Square and WFH , with some travel

    The Independent is an online news publisher that was established in 1986 as a national newspaper independent of party political affiliations or proprietorial influence.

    In 2016, The Independent became a fully digital publisher, moving away from print in pursuit of sustainability, and to safeguard its values and journalism for the future.

    The Independent has always thrived through innovation and change.

    It was the first British newspaper to add a Saturday magazine; the first to give photography the same prestige as a news copy; the first to launch a concise quality compact paper; and the first – and only – major newspaper to pull off a successful transformation to fully digital publishing.

    Through The Independent, Independent TV, eCommerce, indy100, subscriptions and other 'reader revenues', The Independent plans to continue the work of many decades, bringing much-needed independent journalism to over 100 million unique global visitors a month, make its voice ever louder and more insistent the world over.

    We have an international editorial team with our main offices in London and New York.

    The Political Correspondent will be a key member of the political team whose role is to ensure first-class coverage of the main developments in UK politics, with a strong emphasis on exclusive content.

    The successful candidate will be responsible for breaking news stories, in-depth analysis and original features.

    Continuous improvement – you work in a smart, flexible and focused way, are curious, open to change and suggest ideas for improvements to the way things are done.

    You help to create an inclusive and professional work environment.

    Building capability – you keep your own knowledge and skill-set current up to date and look for ways to continue learning to support the achievement of business objectives.

    You take personal responsibility for the quality of your work.
    Care for others - you show awareness of diversity at all times, and respect others.
    The successful candidate will be a team player with a deep understanding of online journalism.

    Cover breaking politics stories.
    Produce explainers, analysis and features.

    Close liaison with other members of the politics team, as well as with the news desk and other desk editors.

    Ensure that all content is legally sound and complies with The Independent's Code of Conduct and Guiding Principles.

    At least two years' experience in a politics/lobby role in a fast-paced newsroom.
    A strong news sense and a deep understanding of the UK political system.
    A proven understanding of digital journalism and SEO, and a desire to deepen your knowledge.
    Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
    We champion diversity in our teams and in our reporting.

    As a growing and global brand, we must have a workforce that's more representative of our readers, viewers, clients and partners, and a workplace that creates a sense of belonging for everyone.


    Inclusive:
    We champion diversity in our teams and in our reporting. Working as a team, we put transparency and effective communication at the heart of everything we do.

    We take risks and are always looking to try new ideas in pursuit of excellence.

    we make up our own minds and aren't afraid to do things differently.
