Scholastic is the world’s largest publisher and distributor of children’s books, and in the UK is home to authors and illustrators including Liz Pichon, Julia Donaldson, Axel Scheffler, and Jenny Han, series including The Hunger Games, Horrible Histories and Dog Man, and the home to some of the most exciting and bestselling debut voices in the market. We are seeking an enthusiastic, highly motivated new team member as Editorial Assistant.

You will be proactive and highly organised. You will be required to deal with multiple tasks efficiently and effectively, including minute taking and helping the team with metadata. You must display strong writing and communication skills, have a keen eye for detail and an interest in working with a wide range of people across departments.
