What you’ll be doing…

You will be covering the assistant editor’s maternity leave. Reporting to the deputy editor, you will be working within a busy team to help produce our award winning weekly newsmagazine for children. You will pitch ideas for stories and sections, write and edit copy and work with colleagues to create and approve layouts. You will assist with longer-term planning, nurture relationships with contributors and take a proactive approach to identifying new talent and opportunities that will benefit the brand.

About us

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 challenge the Westminster lobby system of closed briefings; the first broadsheet to move to the more compact ‘tabloid’ format; 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.


In 2024 The Independent’s portfolio of brands increased through a new licensing partnership with BuzzFeed Inc. to operate the BuzzFeed brands in the UK - BuzzFeed UK, Tasty, Seasoned and HuffPost UK. The additional brands echo the existing business ethos and allow for increased audiences and a further strategic diversification of revenue streams.


The Role

The Independent is looking for an assistant travel editor to join its desk of travel experts. The successful candidate will work across the entire section, covering everything from travel news and in-depth features to evergreen-style roundups and video/audio content, with a strong focus on features and hotels. You must be familiar with using a CMS and have a strong digital news sense, with knowledge of best practice when it comes to SEO and writing for an online audience. You should be able to work in a fast-paced environment, able to give clear briefs and constructive edits when working with writers. A forensic eye for errors and an ability to polish an average article into something worthy of a national news publisher is important. Energy and enthusiasm are key in this fast-paced role; we’re looking for someone who’s excited to step up to the challenge and become an integral part of this small but successful team. This is a 9 month maternity cover fixed-term contract.
