Skills
- Excellent writing and subediting skills to ensure the fws projects sound as forward-thinking, energetic, original, fun and all-encompassing as they are.
- Subediting skills that transfer to manipulating Word and Indesign programs - most of our reports will be done in word, but some will be done in Indesign program.
- Subediting skills that ensure your Indesign document "looks" great visually - no point fws having gorgeous designs, if there are widows, kerning and soft return dramas all over the shop!
- Ability to work to set goals and meet deadlines.
- Ability to work with a number of fws volunteers, including the fws Subediting Manager, fws Board, Kesho Leo Managers and fws Graphic Designers to ensure the information detailed in any fws communication is accurate and up to date.
- Exceptional eye for detail – don’t tell readers on one report page that fws is supporting “house-mamas” and then tell them on another report page that our “house mothers” are important employees.
Requirements
- Access to the Indesign program.
Keen to ensure fws's annual report is an exciting, celebratory document?
