The HR profession has been the driver behind some of the most significant workplace changes during the past 18 months, including furlough, Covid-secure measures and the move to remote (and now hybrid) working.

So it’s no surprise that People Management magazine – the largest business title in the UK by circulation – has been at the heart of the organisational responses to the crisis, from distilling ever-changing government guidance and sharing best practice from across the profession to exploring the legal issues behind some of the biggest employment-related headlines and taking a longer-term lens to new working practices the pandemic has brought.

And that’s on top of other issues like the Black Lives Matter movement, gender and ethnicity pay gap reporting, and a reported impending ‘great resignation’. Now we’re looking for an ambitious and knowledgeable writer who can bring a range of important topics to life, in print and online, as part of a highly focused editorial team.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for writing news stories several days per week for a digital newsletter audience of 120,000, and helping make decisions about which issues should shape the news agenda. And you’ll contribute extensively to our multiple award-winning magazine with a circulation of nearly 140,000 – whether it’s interviewing leading business thinkers, getting onto the shop floor to see the labour market in action or questioning policymakers about how they’ll tackle vital issues.

You will have been writing professionally about business or business-related issues for at least a couple of years, and will be able to demonstrate an impressive portfolio of creative and diverse articles, covering both news and features. You’ll be comfortable using social media – both to gather leads and promote your own work, and you’ll be relentlessly curious about the world of work.

In return, we can offer the opportunity to work on a prestigious and well-respected brand which has seen its journalists graduate to senior editorial roles on national newspapers and other business titles. And we can guarantee you’ll have fun along the way.
