The National is looking for a journalist who lives and breathes Scottish politics to join the team.

You will be expected to deliver exclusive news stories that set the agenda, work within a small team to deliver content that drives subscriptions, and print sales, and help us reach new audiences.

Experience working in audio or video formats and with data, and using social media at a professional level, would be helpful, but not necessary.

A strong knowledge of Scottish current affairs and the constitutional question is required, and your contacts book will be packed with interesting people who want to talk about Scotland’s present and future.

Experience working in a national newsroom is desirable, and an up-to-date qualification in Scots law and knowledge of all levels of government is essential.

Candidates should be able to work from our Glasgow office at least three days a week. Salary depends on experience.
