We are looking for a political journalist full of energy, enthusiasm and ideas to join LabourList at an exciting and important moment for us with Labour now in power.
LabourList is the leading dedicated media platform covering all things Labour, providing breaking news, insider analysis and robust party debate through our website, daily newsletter and events programme.
We are supportive but independent of Labour, with readers and writers from across the party and beyond, from many MPs and members to policy experts. Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has called us a “wonderful” resource for the labour movement – and columnist Polly Toynbee has said she “couldn’t do without LabourList’s information and analysis”.
You’ll be itching to report and share your take on the big Labour news stories everyone’s talking about, uncover and break the Labour stories no-one knows about, and commission and edit topical, punchy comment pieces.
You’ll have good political knowledge, an ease chatting to people, and the desire to make a mark and build our audience through original reporting and thoughtful analysis.
The role is likely to be based in Westminster several days a week and remotely the rest, with occasional working elsewhere such as during Labour conference or elections.

What the job is likely to involve:

• Find and write original and breaking stories and analysis about Labour news
• Curate wider Labour news and comment for our daily newsletter
• Live-tweet/blog political events
• Use online platforms to source, upload, promote and monitor performance of content
• Build and maintain wide-ranging contacts, from MPs to CLPs
• Edit content by contributors/colleagues
• Occasionally represent LabourList at events or on broadcast media
