Job Description

What are your plans for this summer?

 

You could spend 8 weeks on one of our 9 placements, and work on projects for the UK’s largest publisher.

 

Whether you’re interested in learning about Editorial, Sales, Marketing, Distribution or many of our other teams, you’ll gain skills and knowledge that will equip you for wherever you go next.

 

You’ll work in one of our UK offices, and be paid Living Wage.

The internships will either be based at our London offices, or at our Distribution site in Frating.

 

You’ll be part of a team, and attend key department meetings to get a better sense of what they do and how they work with other departments.

 

Intrigued yet?

 

You’ll take charge of a project, with the help of your colleagues, so there is a chance to make a real impact on how we do things.

 

What are we looking for?

 

You don’t need a degree (or knowledge of publishing) to get a place on one of our internships.

 

What matters to us are the key things we’ll be looking for throughout your application:

 

Paying attention to detail

You’ll have a forensic eye for detail, working with care and being able to spot and fix any errors you come across.

 

Communication

This involves everything from being able to write clear and engaging emails and reports to being comfortable talking to a range of people, whether that’s senior team members, industry contacts or members of the public.

 

Curiosity

You’re always looking outward and are keen to learn. You enjoy exploring many viewpoints, and researching ideas and concepts.

 

Organisation

You thrive on keeping things on track, whether for yourself or other people, taking a methodical approach to any task.

 

Able to take initiative 

You don’t sit and wait for opportunities to come to you; you make things happen.

 

Enthusiasm

A genuine interest in what you’re doing and approaching it with a great attitude.

What else do I need to know?

 

You’ll be working full time, Monday to Friday.

 

You’ll need to be over 18, and have the right to work in the UK to be considered for our internships.
