About the role
Practise researching a defined topic and writing for a real reader question. You will keep a source list, draft a short piece and learn how feedback changes its structure and wording.
What you will practise
- Outline a short article or page section before drafting and mark claims that need supporting information.
- Compare the revised piece with the brief and explain what changed after review.
What you will learn
- Learn to turn a brief into accurate, readable copy and use feedback to improve structure and clarity.
- Document your work, respond to feedback, and explain what is ready for review and what still needs help.
What you should bring
- Clear writing, curiosity about unfamiliar topics, and a school, personal, or published writing sample.
- Willingness to ask questions, keep clear notes, and revise work after feedback. Professional experience is not required.
Examples of work in this role
- A short researched draft and source list.
- A revision note identifying a clearer explanation, removed assumption or corrected fact.
Working arrangements
- Keep progress, questions, and blockers visible through the agreed communication channels.
- Availability, working hours, equipment needs, and any location eligibility requirements will be discussed during recruitment.
- Training tasks require review. Supervision, school requirements, training hours, start date, and any allowance must be agreed before the placement begins.
- Live systems, publishing, and client commitments require authorisation. Begin with practice environments or reviewed drafts appropriate to the task.
What to include in your application
- Use the application form and include your CV, availability, and a short explanation of why this work interests you.
- Include a school or personal project where possible. If this is a school OJT placement, state your course, required hours, intended dates, and any school documentation requirements.
- Share a school, personal or published piece and explain who it was written for. Identify any research or editing assistance you used.
- Share only work you have permission to disclose. A redacted sample or a clear explanation is fine when client work is confidential.
