Are you a knowledgeable pet lover with excellent writing skills and a passion for animals? PetsRadar is looking to recruit a new staff writer to join our experienced team of pet enthusiasts. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join a media platform where they can share their love and knowledge of all types of pets with our audience. The role is full-time, working from home on a year’s fixed-term contract.
You will be working with the current PetsRadar team to create buyers’ guides, news and supporting features that are accurate and engaging, and help readers make the best decisions for themselves and their pets, whether that be related to their health, behavior or happiness.
What the role involves
As one of three staff writers, you will report into the editor of PetsRadar and will support in creating expert and engaging content ranging from advice on pet healthcare, diet and behavior to reviews of the latest pet accessories and technology. You’ll research subject areas to give out trusted, reliable advice, and you’ll represent our brand to commercial partners in the pet care industry. The work you’ll do will span SEO-led evergreen features, ecommerce content and news, so you’ll need to know exactly how to treat each article request as it arises.
Experience that will put you ahead of the curve
We’re looking for an individual who has experience with pets and animals, as well as a fundamental understanding of our audience’s interests and needs.
The successful candidate will need excellent organisation skills, experience writing high-quality, engaging and be able to create content to high standard.
Our ideal content would have a strong command of SEO principles and an understanding of digital content approaches, including websites and social media channels.
As you will be working from home, you will need excellent time management skills and be able to work efficiently both alone and also as part of a team.
The closing date for applications is 1 November 2024.
