Applications close on Friday 4th October at 23:59

| UPDATED

The Sheffield Tab is accepting applications for the new 2024/2025 editorial team!

The position available is TikTok Editor.

This is an incredible opportunity to make a real contribution to a student media company that is read by thousands of students every month.

All current students are welcome to apply and journalism experience is not a requirement as you’ll receive training from experienced editors and journalists from The Tab HQ.

The only requirements are that you must be a current university student in Sheffield, and you must be available to attend and help run weekly meetings.

Being an editor for The Sheffield Tab is fantastic for your CV. It opens up loads of opportunities for you and also lets you meet new people so it’ll not only boost your resume but your social circle too.

You’ll also get opportunities to write for the national site, The Tab, which is read by more than nine million readers each month.

Editors are also invited to London twice yearly to meet the national writers, have training, and occasionally get a free curry. What more could you want?

You’ll be working with the Social Media Editor and the other section editors to promote The Sheffield Tab’s content on TikTok.

TikTok is the social media platform we most want to see grow at The Sheffield Tab so we’re looking for someone who has a solid grasp of meme culture, and wants to make lots of fun and creative videos.

You should love being in front of the camera, as you will be expected to present some of the news articles we publish. Don’t worry if you’re not used to writing scripts for TikTok videos or even presenting on screen, as our Assistant Editor from HQ is a broadcast journalist by trade, so she’ll be able to help you as and when you need.

So, have you got what it takes? If you want to apply for any of the advertised roles, please fill out this Google form:

The application deadline is Friday 4th October 2024 at 23:59, with successful applicants to be informed via email.
