Sports Reporter

Date published: January 13, 2018

• Wanted a sporting all rounder who wants to be a star….

The Ashburton Guardian has an opportunity for a passionate reporter to make their mark in the world of sport.

We’re looking for someone who lives for sport – all codes, who is keen to get to know the triers, the grinders the good teams and the sporting stars of the Ashburton District.

You’ll be a one-person sports team, among an editorial team of experienced journalists, covering everything from representative rugby and netball, right down to primary school’s football and hockey.

The Guardian is a progressive, six-day a week newspaper in the heart of a sporting strong hold.

Our sports coverage is one of the cornerstones of the business.

Our readers are passionate players, watchers and arm-chair critics who love nothing more than reading a good yarn about local sporting stars or teams.

Sport takes place at any time on any given day, so you’ll be flexible with your working hours and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to provide the sports coverage that the paper requires.

You’ll also get the opportunity to swing one of our cameras around from time to time too.

Weekend work in this role is a given, but that does mean that you’ll get time off during the week to enjoy everything our district has to offer. That could mean that in Winter you are on the slopes within an hour of raising your head from the pillow or in summer out on the lake after just a 10-minute drive.

If you think you could be the sporting star we are looking for, then we would love to hear from you.

Send us an application letter along with your CV, telling us about your passion for sport and what you could bring to the Guardian team.
