Are you a fan of crosswords and puzzles? If so, then this could be the ideal job for you.

PA Media’s Puzzles Department specialises in providing crosswords and puzzles to the national and regional press – for print and digital publication.

We currently have a vacancy for a sub-editor to work in our busy Bristol office on a full-time temporary contract.

Your role will entail proofreading and desk-top publishing crosswords, quizzes and other kinds of puzzles. There may also be opportunities to compile puzzles. If you have InDesign and Photoshop experience that would be an advantage, but not essential, as in-house training will be provided.
