Listings writer, Red Bee Media - United Kingdom
This job is located in Ealing, West London, United Kingdom (map)
The job entails compiling schedules for numerous channels and composing listings for programmes of any genre quickly and authoritatively based on information supplied by broadcasters. You will also need to manage a wealth of technical data, including series links, viewing rights and HD flags.
Previous experience of listings is not essential, but you will need to demonstrate good subbing skills and excellent English spelling, punctuation and grammar. You must also be IT-literate and comfortable managing substantial volumes of noneditorial data.
You will need to achieve tight deadlines without sacrificing accuracy. A natural team player, you will always be ready to respond to the changing needs of clients.
We offer a great working environment in our pleasant offices a few minutes from Ealing Broadway. Training on our bespoke database will be given, but you should already possess a typing speed of 35-40wpm.
To be considered, your application must include two listings written by you, each of up to 100 words – one for a feature film of your choice and the other for a recent factual programme. Please type these at the end of the 'Skills, Abilities & Experience' section of the application form.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to do a proofreading and data-entry exercise.
Appointments will be for six months initially.
