environmental issues
• good writing skills – journalism experience would be advantageous
• experience in blogging and moderating an online forum
• initiative, for example, in identifying stories for blogs
• experience in project work
• relationship management skills
• the ability to work in a team and independently.

HTML editing skills and video digitisation would be an advantage, but are not mandatory.

This contract will be for a fixed term and will run for 19 weeks from 18 February until 27 June 2008. We will consider applicants wishing to work part-time but for no less than 25 hours per week.
