The company offers a range of entry-level roles in areas including editorial, production, marketing, sales, publicity, IT and finance. Candidates will normally need to hold a degree but the discipline is flexible. As an in-house recruiter explains, 'Some people may have taken a publishing-related qualification but we are mainly looking at the skills and qualities they exhibit – organisational, communication, presentation, IT and customer service skills are all desirable. We are really interested in the individual and what they can offer.'

Editorial Career path

Our Editorial colleagues are responsible for identifying areas in which new publications are required, developing and growing current titles, and working to find authors of the highest quality and reputation.
