Editorial team interns

We're a friendly but busy team, so be prepared to hit the ground running. We won't ask you to make tea (unless you want to) but we will ask for your input in editorial meetings and brainstorms.

We currently have two internship positions available. The placements start in April 2012 and run for three months.

1) In our money team. This is an opportunity for someone to get involved in the area of the site focused on researching the top financial products. You’ll gain skills in fact-checking, writing, checking legitimacy, liaising with press offices and, of course, MoneySaving.

It's a great opportunity for anyone looking to get into journalism/media, particularly those with a strong maths ability and good attention to detail.

2) In our news team. It will involve writing and researching daily news stories to tight deadlines. Ideal if you’ve just got your NCTJ qualification or if you have a passion for journalism with some experience, eg, on a student or local paper.

Web development intern

MSE uses a platform of PHP/MySQL with javascript and jQuery/AJAX. HTML, CSS and knowledge of working within the Linux Shell are the other required skills.

The role is suitable for anyone looking to gain experience with one of the UK's biggest websites, as part of a small but busy team. Start dates for three-month web development internships are flexible and can include the summer holidays.
