The Soton Tab is recruiting!

We are hiring a brand new editorial team for 2017/2018. Our AGM is famously undemocratic – there’s no voting involved, we just pick the people with the best applications! You don’t need to have written for us before to apply, just have an interest in all things student news and a flair for writing! Beyond reaching an audience of more than 12,000 people on Facebook alone, the Soton Tab is an amazing team to be a part of. We are the only totally independent news outlet at the University of Southampton, and have infamously fabulous socials through our amazing partnerships with local clubs and bars. You must be a University of Southampton student to apply for these roles.

Below are all the roles we are looking to fill for the new academic year:

This role is full-on – it means writing stories in all sections, supervising all our social media accounts, editing articles from the editorial team and regular writers, and avoiding getting sued! It also means you have full control of what you write and publish!
