    Trainee News Reporter - London, United Kingdom - DiverseJobsMatter

    Default job background
    Description
    We are offering aspiring young journalists and writers the opportunity to join our early career trainee reporter scheme.

    We deliver must-have intelligence to leading law firms and companies when they need it through a combination of time-sensitive insight, proprietary data and analytics, expert research and sophisticated tools, across a range of specialist platforms.

    If you are successful in our selection process, you will join one of our platforms in a full-time, permanent role.

    You'll get the opportunity to write news, analysis and other content, make your own contacts and generate long-form features.

    Our newsroom has a track record of generating agenda-leading content including:

    Investigating why an ongoing bribery probe by Indian authorities has dragged on for more than a decade, with a British man held in custody for five years;
    Tracking a money-laundering and scam scheme that targeted trademark applicants, contributing to a change in US government policy;
    Reporting a Swiss court convicting a British lawyer for participating in a fake Kuwaiti arbitration.
    We spot opportunities to generate stories from courts, data, policy changes, and relationships with lawyers, policymakers and more. All members of the editorial team have opportunities to travel internationally.

    Many of our senior team started and trained here, which demonstrates the supportive environment we offer; We recognise the importance of diverse perspectives, and strongly believe that having a variety of voices on our team makes our content better.

    Our ambition is to have more diversity in our newsroom.

    Candidates will be assessed through writing tests – which are reviewed on an anonymous basis – and face-to-face interviews with senior members of the editorial team.

    Candidates with a qualification in journalism such as an NCTJ or journalism degree or post-graduate qualification, are preferred, and some academic or practical legal experience can be useful.

    But we will consider all applicants with the ability to demonstrate an instinct for news and an ability to write clearly and concisely.

    We are happy to share that we have partnered with Business Disability Form to help us on our journey to becoming a more inclusive employer and achieving Level 2 Disability Confident Accreditation.

    Business Disability Forum work with partners, businesses like ours, the government, and disabled people to improve the life experience of disabled employees and consumers, by removing barriers to inclusion.

    Through this partnership we'll have access to expert advice, events and practical resources that we can share with our teams to help us become more disability inclusive and better support our current and future employees.

    We also take our place in this world of ours very seriously and engage in a wide variety of charitable and community based initiatives.

    We work extensively with Swawou School in Sierra Leone, which we established to provide education for 120 girls, and on an ongoing basis we underwrite the school's costs.

    'We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and are committed to ensuring that all candidates are given the same opportunity to succeed regardless of their sex, gender identity/expression or reassignment, sexual orientation, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion, age or disability.'

    Our newsroom has a track record of generating agenda-leading content including:
    Reporting the activities of a 'fixer' whose contacts with the head of the UK Serious Fraud Office derailed an international corruption trial
    Tracking a money-laundering and scam scheme that targeted trademark applicants, contributing to a change in US government policy

    We do not expect you to have any prior legal knowledge or any familiarity with the areas we cover – which include international white-collar crime, competition law, intellectual property, distressed finance and much more.

    Our people are our most valuable asset, as such, we offer a wide range of benefits to help ensure that all are supported:

    Employee Assistance Programme
    Pension (4% employer contribution and 4% employee contribution)
    ~ Cycle to Work scheme
    ~ Season ticket loan
    ~£350 annual wellbeing allowance to contribute to gym membership & fitness classes

    Life assurance after 4 months
    Private healthcare after 1 years' service

    Christmas and Summer parties
    Access to Employee Affinity Networks
    Mortgage Advice

    We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and are committed to ensuring that all candidates are given the same opportunity to succeed regardless of their sex, gender identity/expression or reassignment, sexual orientation, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion, age or disability.

    We are committed to making our organisation an inclusive, respectful & engaging place to work with a culture shaped by our core values that promote equality, collaboration & respect in everything we do.

    We are proud to be part of the Disability Confident Scheme, meaning we are committed to being inclusive and accessible, which starts with our application and recruitment process.
