About you:

If you have copywriting experience and are looking for regular high-quality freelance work over the next 6-9 months, we may have something for you.

The essentials:

  • You can write and supply copy on a weekly basis over 6-9 months

  • You have a minimum of two years’ experience as a copywriter

  • You're able to write fresh website copy that speaks to humans, not just an ability to cram in SEO keywords

  • You can distil information, so that the essentials are immediately obvious to your readers

  • You have an understanding of SEO and how keywords work in website copy

  • You can prioritise your workload so as to meet deadlines

  • Because we are working with a public institution, it may be necessary for you to have Public Liability cover

The desirables:

  • You have experience of writing metadata (alt-tags, page titles, page descriptions)

  • You have written copy for a publicly funded institution or an educational body (school, university, college, workshop) in some form

  • You have some experience of bureaucratic sign-off procedures

  • You have an understanding of government guidelines for content accessibility for a range of reader requirements

  • You have experience of interviewing people and understanding their key messages

  • You can attend meetings at our studio in East London at agreed intervals to review progress and make human contact

  • You have used a content management system (e.g. Wordpress) to upload content

The undesirables:

  • You’ve ever pretended you didn’t see an elderly or pregnant person in order not to volunteer your seat on public transport

  • You put recyclables into the main rubbish

Please get in touch with CV, some examples of your work by Friday 3rd August at 9am to info@OLGAagency.com. We may ask you to fulfil a brief for us as an example of your suitability for the project.
