Regular column writer for our reminiscence newspaper

We are a small UK-based company specialising in reminiscence materials for older people and people with dementia. We produce a reminiscence newspaper each day delivered digitally and in printed versions (sample attached). It comprises 6 short columns (each approx. 100 words) along with an image. The aim of the articles is to trigger memories and initiate conversation. There is also a short section for each column providing background information and suggested question prompts for carers.

We are looking for a third writer to join our team. The writing style is chatty and informal. The sentences must be short, the vocabulary simple but not childish, and the content based on everyday subjects eg objects, people, habits, events and interests important in the UK during 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.

This is a part time post.
There is possible scope for more work – writing entries for industry awards etc.
Work is submitted in Word although the team all use Macs. Some technical competence is required.
Work is submitted to production deadlines.
