Job Details

It is a really exciting time to join the Reach PLC family. Due to our sustained growth and our ambitious future growth plans, we are now looking for an experienced Health Reporter to join the expanding Express.co.uk team.

The Health Reporter will be responsible for ensuring content is engaging, informative and reaches as wide an audience as possible. As well as writing about a wide range of health topics, the role will involve reporting on live TV - covering health segments on programmes, such as Good Morning Britain and This Morning, and what experts have to say.

Please note we will be reviewing applications for this role as applications are submitted. Due to this the role may close without notice, so please don't delay in your application.

To apply now send your CV, covering letter and availability.

So, who are we?

Hello, we are Reach! You might not have heard of us but we have probably met without you even realising it. We are home to the UK and Ireland’s most iconic digital platforms, magazines and newspapers. From the Mirror, Daily Express and OK!, to our regional titles such as the Liverpool Echo, BirminghamLive and the Manchester Evening News (plus lots more), our brands and the stories we cover are as varied as our people.

We help all kinds of people share experiences through our stories because we believe this is what makes us human. Oh, and we should probably also mention that with a monthly readership of 47 million people, Reach is the largest commercial publisher in the UK. At Reach, not only will you feel better understood, you will also feel you understand other people better too.
