Mirror Online is looking for a Senior Reporter with experience of a national newsroom to join our TV team.

We're searching for a dynamic reporter who knows their mainstream British shows and soaps inside out. You will be full of ideas and be ahead of the curve in terms of current hit series, the hottest Netflix up-and-comers, and the ones we'll be raving about in the weeks and months to come.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a trained digital journalist, with knowledge of SEO and social media, to join a fast-paced online newsroom.

So if you're obsessed with Strictly, have your ear close to the ground (or castle walls of Wales) for I'm A Celeb scoops, or know what Piers Morgan's going to say on GMB before he says it, this could be the ideal role for you.

You will be expected to lead by example, sourcing the best stories and unearthing the strongest lines from live TV to soap spoilers. As part of your development, you will also be expected to lead shifts on the TV desk from time to time, subbing others' copy and setting the news agenda.

Please note this position involves shift work, including overnight shifts, due to the nature of the role.
