Maintain regular and clear communication with editors to ensure all are properly briefed on activities and work schedules.

Requirements:

Candidates should have a robust insight into the aspirations and influences associated with new and established Muslim communities in the UK — across political, social, economic and civil society fields, as well as sport, business, arts and lifestyle.

A proven track record of delivering engaging stories and a wide-ranging roster of contacts.

Excellent reporting and writing skills across shorter and feature-length stories.

Must be able to demonstrate sound journalistic practice, such as balance, careful sourcing and a solid, practical understanding of media law.

Work collaboratively with other reporters and editors.
