Here's what's been said about it...

"As part of its partnership with the Co-op, Nub News is looking for a full-time copywriter to work with our talented team of journalists.

"We are looking for a self-starter with good communication skills, great organisational qualities, punctuality and the ability to adapt and respond quickly to changing circumstances and deadlines and to work to a defined house style. The job will come with the help and support of our journalists and the Co-op teams.

"The post will be home-based – though will involve liaising with communities across the UK, establishing a rapport and understanding of the Co-op ethos and the community values it shares with Nub News."

Main responsibilities:

- Edit and proofread the partnership articles, ensuring they meet the Co-op's tone of voice and brand guidelines.

- Write copy in Co-op's tone of voice to be used in the partnership.

- Create and maintain a detailed content plan, adapting where needed if changes occur. Meet deadlines and ensure timely publishing of all articles.

- Liaise with Co-op and their agency on a regular basis to deliver progress reports and request any extra information.

- Deliver regular briefings to the journalists, explaining the parameters of the articles and what is required of them. Answer any questions they have or contact the Co-op for more information.

- Track engagement metrics across all articles in detailed reports and provide weekly updates for Co-op.

- Check that all articles and social posts are correct once published, e.g. checking all links are working and relevant parties have been tagged.

- Assist with the creation of proposals for potential partnerships and co-ordinate their execution.

We would like to hear from you.

"Nub News is continuing its innovative, industry-changing development, bringing top quality local journalism back to towns and communities across the UK.
