Baylis Community Media CIC is looking for an ambitious and talented news reporter to join our busy team.

We are an award-winning multi-media organisation publishing three weekly newspapers – the Maidenhead Advertiser, Henley Standard and Slough and Windsor Express – alongside our growing websites and busy social media channels.

Baylis Community Media CIC is one of the few truly independent newspaper publishers left in the country. Our communities and trusted public-interest journalism are at the heart of everything we do.

As a news reporter, you will have the opportunity to cover everything from breaking news and court cases to human-interest features, in-depth interviews and more.

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.
