To do that you must be able to spot good local stories and build extensive contacts among ministers, MSPs, civil servants and Scotland’s public bodies.
Naturally, you will have a thirst for politics at all levels and display a good working knowledge of your specialist subject, both nationally and locally.
You must have extensive journalistic experience in political news coverage.
This is your chance to work in a rewarding environment where benefits include a competitive salary, medical benefits, company pension scheme and a generous holiday allowance. Aberdeen Journals is committed to a policy of equal opportunities for all staff.
