Salary: £42k pro-rata
Contract: 12-month contract, 3 days a week
Location: Bradford (hybrid working)
Reporting to: CEO/Editor-in-Chief
About the Bureau
The Bureau is the UK’s largest independent non-profit investigative journalism organisation. In the last year, our investigations were published in more than 100 countries across local, national, international, specialist, TV, and digital platforms – and sparked change around the world. Our four global investigative teams work with reporters around the world on priority cross-border issues – environment, health, corruption, and big tech. In addition, our UK-focused Bureau Local team uses an innovative community-led approach to cover issues like insecure work, migrant rights, and family courts, amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities. Founded in 2010, we’ve grown from a small group of journalists to a diverse team delivering hard-hitting investigations that have prompted inquiries, sparked legal challenges, and informed policy change in the UK and across the world.
About the project
The Bureau has a history of innovation, ambition, and going beyond the headline. We are committed to supporting citizenship, a thriving democratic space,e and most crucially empowerment through journalism. Working in partnership with Bradford Community Broadcasting and alongside other key community stakeholders, we plan to develop a Storytelling hub - a creative ecology around storytelling that uniquely combines training and education with a focus on developing a sense of self and voice as well as storytelling skills, building media trust and most crucially for the public interest journalism environment, developing a pipeline for community investigations.
A recent scoping exercise highlighted a strong desire among Bradford’s underrepresented communities for greater media representation, storytelling opportunities, and access to training. These findings have shaped the hub’s vision, ensuring it directly addresses local needs.
The StoryHub would offer more than just technical media skills - it would promote citizenship, improve confidence, and self-esteem and crucially drive greater civic engagement.
This is your chance to be part of a truly exciting and innovative project, launching during Bradford’s year as the UK City of Culture. The Storytelling Hub will form a vital part of the city’s cultural celebration, amplifying voices and stories from its diverse communities and creating a lasting legacy.
About the role
The successful candidate will value journalism for the public good and the importance of diverse and inclusive community building for story impact. This is a new, pilot role at the Bureau, helping us think about community engagement, transparency, and collaboration in journalism.
The community organiser will help develop workshops around accountability and an understanding of public decision-making and bring down barriers to full civic engagement. This would be via a series of listening sessions, skills-based workshops, and the development of story ideas.
Please bear in mind: you do not need to tick every box in this advert to apply for the role. But we are looking out for the following skills and experience:
Key Responsibilities
• Engage with Bradford’s communities to understand their needs, skills, expertise, and ideas.
• Offer training sessions in community journalism and storytelling workshops

• A confident communicator and writer
• Great communicator and facilitator - whether speaking in small groups or at big events

• Knowledge of or experience in community organizing or developing, including supporting a group of disparate members as well as excellent written and verbal communications skills.
