Work at House and Home: We're hiring an Editorial and Branded Content Assistant

House and Home is Ireland’s leading Interiors media brand, reaching a targeted, engaged audience across print, web, social and events, 24/7. Now 23-years-old, House and Home has grown from its original print roots, and it is still expanding.

This is an exciting time for magazine media: House and Home, as a niche publication, has a stable and growing circulation and the expansion of its brand pillars has allowed it to find new audiences and growth.

We are now seeking an Editorial and Branded Content Assistant who will work directly with the Editorial Director to help us grow House and Home further. This hybrid role will see the right candidate working across the print title on each issue, developing content for print and online, and assisting on shoots, as well as working on our branded content campaigns and events. You will be assisting in the planning and development of multiple events each year, and our 360-degree branded content campaigns for our clients, which roll out across all our platforms.

The right candidate will provide strong support to the Editorial Director and in turn, this role offers you the chance to develop and strengthen your skillset – vital for a modern career in media.

To apply, you will need to meet the following criteria:
