News writer (gardens)

The Livingetc mission is to unlock the world of design for all homeowners, providing engaging design ideas, shopping edits and home advice.

What you will be doing...

We are looking for a digital journalist who's passionate about gardens and design in equal measure, who can delight our audience with inspiration for making the most of their outdoor space. You will work with a brilliant team and generate high-quality news and features for our global website.

Reporting to the section editor, you will write both short-order news stories and longer, research-driven evergreen features around gardens and outdoor living, growing the audience to this content category and monetising this audience by ecommerce integration. 

Experience that will put you ahead of the curve...

• Digital editorial experience
• An interest in gardens and outdoor living, and an ability to write for American audiences
• SEO expertise and an understanding of analytical tools, which you’ll use to form your content
• Exceptional writing and editing skills - from the ability to write snappy headlines to tight grammar control, through to the ability to source the right image to draw people in.
• Flexibility - news traffic does not always peak 9-5 so some elements of the role might require a more flexible approach to hours at certain times of the year

What's in it for you…

We have a number of awesome perks available to our staff. We offer huge opportunities to learn and develop, whether through professional qualifications, exposure to incredible business projects or informal lunch and learns, hosted by your colleagues. We have a fantastic culture where we really do care about our people and want everyone to succeed. Varied roles mean you are not pigeonholed in to one finite area but get the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and experience

And to top it all off, not only do we offer unlimited holiday because we trust you to manage your workload and time but we also offer a share in our success whereby every colleague is eligible to join our profit pool bonus scheme - if Future hits their performance targets all colleagues may receive a bonus.

The expected range for this role is £26,000 - £30,000

This is a hybrid role from our London Office, working three days from the office, two from home
