Staff writer – The Post, closes 2 Jul ’26

  • Location: Liverpool/Merseyside (we need someone who lives full-time in the region, or is willing to relocate).
  • Salary: Dependent on experience (circa. £30k-35k) with an opportunity for pay to increase next year.
  • Basis: Full-time (including some out-of-hours work).
  • Office/remote: Four days per week in our Liverpool city centre office.
  • Start date: July/August 2026.
  • Closing date: Thursday 2 July.

What They’re Looking For

This role requires at least three years of experience in journalism. It’s a job for a journalist who believes in their mission, loves the kind of reporting they do, and is passionate about applying their brand of journalism to Liverpool and the wider Merseyside region. They need someone who has a natural flair for writing — who will deliver the kind of stories their readers look forward to when they open their newsletters.

This role also requires the kind of person who relishes trying to get hold of people on the phone and enjoys chasing stories even if they seem like dead ends; who likes getting to grips with complex issues and can explain those issues clearly to readers. You will also be expected to pitch in with various non-writing tasks, like helping with social media, managing community comments, and liaising with freelancers.

They need a writer who has a strong voice but who is also incredibly ambitious about their own development within Mill Media’s distinctive editorial environment, which is known for producing some of the country’s most exciting reporters and writers. They hire people who want to learn fast, will work extremely well with senior editors and have the right mix of confidence in their own ability and openness to learn the Mill Media style of journalism and engagement with readers.

Crucially, this is a role for someone who likes working really hard. This job isn’t easy and doesn’t always fit into the normal working day. They give some of the most rigorous and intense training and development in British journalism, which means that you will grow very fast by working with us. But they need people who are incredibly committed and energised by the task.

Key Responsibilities

  • Fantastic writing: Producing consistently high-quality writing for The Post that informs and delights readers and makes them stand out.
  • Story generation: Generating lots of highly original story ideas every month, ranging from culture to crime, food to local politics. They need someone who loves following the talking points in the city, from mad theories spreading on Reddit to what’s happening in the hospitality scene.
  • Contact building: Developing exceptional contacts within Liverpool’s political, cultural, and business worlds so that they can break big stories.
  • Audience growth: Helping to grow The Post by posting on social media, assisting with our marketing, and fostering strong bonds with their community of members.

Attributes Required

  • Superb writing: Someone who can write stories that our readers don’t just like but love, whether it’s a colour piece, an interview, or a newsier feature. A key part of this is being able to write with clarity and distil complex issues for readers.
  • Reporting flair: Someone with an unusual talent for unearthing information, including huge energy when pursuing a story, a knack for getting hold of people on the phone, and the ability to develop contacts over time.
  • Independence: Someone capable of working independently without lots of supervision from editors—that means being exceptionally organised, very communicative with colleagues, and self-motivated when working on stories.
  • Growth mindset: Someone with an entrepreneurial spirit who is motivated by growth as well as our journalism and will enjoy growing our social media accounts and spreading our brand.
  • Our values: Someone who is committed to our key editorial values: accuracy, nuance, thoughtfulness, fairness to sources, and giving readers the context they need to understand what is going on.

How to Apply

To apply for this role, email hiring@millmediaco.uk by Thursday 2 July 2026 at the latest, with an explanation (in the body of the email) about why you are interested in working with The Post and why you think you might be a good fit for this role.

Please also include:

  • A few links to some of your favourite work you’ve done.
  • Your CV or a link to your LinkedIn profile.
  • Three story ideas you would like to work on if you joined them, or that you think would do well on The Post.

If we are considering you for the role, they will send you a writing test. If you have any questions, just get in touch via the same email.
