MSE Internship – Social Media & Digital Content
Six-month internship, full-time, paid (London Real Living Wage) | Planned start: October/November 2026
About the internship
MoneySavingExpert (MSE) is launching a paid, full-time, six-month internship scheme, and we're looking for aspiring journalists, content creators and social media storytellers. You'll join a busy, purpose-driven media organisation that always puts the consumer first, helping people save money and campaigning on their behalf for financial justice.
The program will embed you within our editorial teams, giving you hands-on experience of writing and publishing stories and creating content across articles, social media and video formats. Your work could reach an audience of more than 10 million people each month.
If you're passionate about storytelling, social media, journalism, making complex ideas easy to understand and fighting consumers' corner, we'd love to hear from you.
What we're looking for
This internship is designed for someone with passion, curiosity and potential who wants to gain hands-on experience. If you're excited about the opportunity but don't meet every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you. We care more about your enthusiasm and willingness to learn than a perfect match to every criterion.
We know that some groups remain underrepresented in journalism and the wider media industry, and we're committed to creating more opportunities for people from a broad range of backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnically diverse backgrounds, while emphasising that this opportunity is open to everyone.
We're looking for someone who can demonstrate a genuine interest in journalism, social media, and digital content creation, particularly vertical video.
That interest could be demonstrated through any of the following:
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
