The Guardian believes there should be a better representation of our diverse society in the media and, to break down barriers, each summer we run a work-experience scheme for those considering a career in journalism. This year our London office is running a paid work-experience scheme for applicants with disabilities. (This includes people with visible and invisible disabilities, chronic conditions, and mental health challenges.) Successful applicants will spend two weeks learning about different aspects of journalism, shadow journalists and have a chance to pitch story ideas. You will see up close the daily discussions and decision-making which help create our newspaper and website. Sections you''ll experience might include Features, Multimedia, Sport, Saturday magazine, Podcasting, Business/Consumer, Environment, among others. You''ll also have an experienced journalist as a mentor, to offer advice on your future career. We want the placements, which will all take place between Monday June 8 and Friday June 20, to be accessible to as many people as possible and will do our best to accommodate any reasonable adjustments you may need for access to this opportunity (eg accessible interview locations, sign language interpretation, extended time for interview tasks, alternative application formats). And if office working is not possible for you, we''ll aim to offer the chance to work remotely. If you''d like to be considered for a remote scheme, please add a note at the end of ..... full job details .....
