About Webrecruit

Webrecruit is the pioneer, innovator and driving force behind UK recruitment advertising and software. Our footprint within the industry is second-to-none and the quality of our products is widely known across the charity and public sector as well as a host of industries

Following on from planned yet accelerated growth, we are now poised to take the next step in our evolution, grow further and increase the scope of our services and our market share.

We’re now looking for an amazing Junior Copywriter to join our amazing Copywriting team, here at Webrecruit.

Copywriting at Webrecruit

Day-to-day, as a Junior Copywriter, you’ll be creating reflective job adverts that both inform about, and sell, job roles to candidates. We won’t ask you to reinvent the wheel or create your own language but we’re hoping that you’ll bring ideas and the willingness to learn every day.

You’ll have passion for the written word, dedication to a fancy turn of phrase and will know your oxford comma from your semi-colon (knowing when and where to add a hyphen would be a bonus too).

We’re all about the working from home life so a quiet corner with good internet access will be vital (we’ll supply the equipment, don’t worry about that). You’ll also need to be happy coming into the office once a week once trained and spending your first couple of weeks in our Exeter office for induction.

As part of our team mentality, you’ll liaise with clients via email and help our team staff group inboxes and respond to inbound calls.

What we’re looking for

Our Copywriters come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but we will be interested in your application if you possess at least one of the following:

• A degree-level qualification in a discipline such as Journalism, English or a writing-focused subject
• A recruitment background (with the desire to move into a creative field)
• A creative streak (and the ability to prove and improve your skills!)

Ideal candidates will have experience of creating job adverts for professional purposes, but this is by no means necessary, as we are all about training and professional development.

What will you get in return?

• Salary of up to £21,700 per annum
• Pension scheme
• 23 days’ holiday pro rata (increasing with service to 25)
• Dress down policy
• Work from home
• Comprehensive training

You’ll find we are a diverse team of individuals with a breadth of experience, backgrounds and interests and this all contributes to our workplace being something we at Webrecruit are proud of.

We’re work-from-homers, Zoom and Teams ‘meetingers’ and DM chatters these days - we’re constantly in touch with one another despite being distanced; we are now also working back in the office one day a week!

Interviews will be held in our Exeter offices but before we get to that stage, we’ll want to chat on the phone and for you to complete a writing exercise. We love stand-out applications so why not make your cover letter something special to separate you from the crowd?

Other organisations may call this role Trainee Copywriter, Graduate Copywriter, Graduate Copywriter, Copywriter, Online Copywriter, Copy Editor, Trainee Writer, or Graduate Writer.

Webrecruit is an equal opportunities employer, values diversity and is strongly committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all employees and all applicants for employment. Equal opportunities are the only acceptable way to conduct business and we believe that the more inclusive our environments are, the better our work will be.
