Editorial Assistant:

Dispatch is looking for an early-career journalist who wants to get under the bonnet of a growing start-up publication — and help with, well, pretty much everything required to keep it ticking along.

You’ll get stuck into research, proofing, newsletter-writing, social media design, events, merch, and anything else we can think of.

You’ll also have the chance to pitch and write your own stories and, with guidance, commission and learn to edit longform features.

To apply, send a few examples of your work to editor@dispatch-media.com, along with:

  • A brief summary of any relevant experience (no CV necessary).
  • One idea for a future Dispatch article.
  • The strangest event happening in October that you think we should cover in our newsletter.
  • One thing you think Dispatch could improve upon — and how you could help fix it.

Hours: The role is part-time and mostly remote, with regular in-person pitch meetings.

Pay: London Living Wage, plus commission.

Deadline: 9am, 9/10/26
