Muddy Stilettos – Editorial Assistant Positions

Muddy Stilettos first tottered into the world in 2011 as a way for journalist Hero Brown (Independent on Sunday, The Observer, Red, Marie Claire, Elle) to find out the fun stuff to do in Bucks & Oxon, having moved out of London that summer with husband and baby son in tow.

Quickly Muddy Stilettos caught on locally to become the ultimate ‘urban guide to the countryside’ – a witty, super-useful insider’s guide to the very best food, walks, boutiques, day trips, hotels, interiors and events for smart, fun-loving women living outside London.

Muddy Stilettos is pleased to be offering two roles, both editorial assistant positions. These are unpaid opportunities, though offer in-work training in SEO and Social Media Scheduling. These will  initially be one month internships, with a review and possibility to continue for a further 3 months. If the internship is successful there may be an opportunity to develop this into a full or part-time paid role. You will be able to work remotely, though will need to meet with Mary at least once per week.
