Staff benefits: Pension scheme. Staff parking
Delivery to be completed on site and off the job training either at Barnsley College or your place of work. Student to complete a Content Creator Level 3 Apprenticeship.
About the employer: Barnsley Chronicle is a trusted publisher, regulated by The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) the independent regulator for the UK’s newspaper and magazine industry. We've been publishing the Barnsley Chronicle every week since 1858. It is the largest-circulating weekly newspaper in Yorkshire and remains one of the biggest-selling in the UK – and we are also proud to be one of the last remaining broadsheet publications. We are Barnsley-born and bred so no-one ‘gets’ the area quite like we do.
