The Bristol Tab is read by thousands of students per month, and we are looking for a passionate and motivated team of editors to take on the next year.

Applications are now open for The Bristol Tab’s editorial team for the academic year 2021/21.

The positions available are: Editor, News Editor, Features Editor and Social Media Editor.

We’re particularly encouraging students from minority backgrounds to apply. If you feel like journalism isn’t typically accessible for people from your background, please do apply. You’ll have training from experienced editors to get you up and running.

You don’t need to have written for The Bristol Tab before, but, as these are editorial roles, some journalistic experience would certainly help. If you have your own blog or have written for different publications in the past and are looking to step up your experience, you should definitely apply.

The roles include…

Editor-in-Chief

In this role, you will be responsible for overseeing every article published by The Bristol Tab.

You will work with the section editors to make sure everyone in the team is writing something and keeping on top of all the latest news on campus.

You will also write multiple news or feature stories every week, and receive individual training on how to manage your team and get the best articles out there.

News Editor

Features Editor

You’ll be in charge of writing and editing our banging feature pieces.

The role allows you to be witty, educational, opinionated and creative in your writing.

It’s important you know what’s relevant, interesting and funny to the specific student audience at Bristol Uni.

Social Editor

An eye for memes and aesthetics is key for this role. You’ll be responsible for regularly uploading onto various social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

This will include sharing articles, creating insta stories, finding and creating memes, uploading footage of events and making sure our student audience is always engaged and interacting.

This is a great position to go for if you want to see real audience growth, and gain experience in running social media channels (which looks great on your CV).

If you think you’ve got what it takes and want to apply for any of the advertised roles, please fill out this Google form.

The application deadline is Wednesday 14th April at 12pm, with successful applicants to begin their roles by May
