Reach announced this week that it is currently recruiting for 76 new roles across its national and regional sport network.<\/p>\n

The news follows Newsquest’s announcement<\/a> of a major recruitment drive to hire 50 new digital sales consultants and a £1.5 million investment in 50 new digital local journalist roles in its markets across the UK.<\/p>\n

Reach’s expansion comes as part of a continued company-wide investment in its digital editorial teams, with several teams currently recruiting, Reach said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jon Birchall, audience and content director (sport), said: “We’re so proud of what the team has achieved this year. Now we want to bring more views, a wider range of expertise and more round the clock coverage on both our national and regional brands.<\/p>\n

“Our ambition is to not only continue to serve our readers, viewers and listeners but also attract new fans and communities. We can only do this with a diverse team and encourage applications from people with a love of sport, even if they think they don’t fit the traditional mould. We can’t wait to hear from new, exciting voices in the industry.”<\/p>\n

All sports roles are currently live on the Reach Careers site. Prospective candidates who would like an informal chat about any of the roles are encouraged to email yourrecruitment@reachplc.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
