This is being put up on forums by the mag publishers so I thought I'd post it here as well 
Do you have a big passion for the VW scene? Are you fanatical about all forms of the VW Bus?
Do you have very good English language and literature skills?
Can you take a good photograph?
If you have said yes to all of the above, we may have just the job for you.
Volkswagen Camper and Commercial magazine (http://www.volkswagencamper.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false are looking to hire a Deputy Editor to work alongside the Editor.
Applicants will need a clear vision about the identity of the magazine and the needs of its readers. Be passionate about the VW scene, and specifically the bus scene. A high level of literacy and grammatical skills and ability to inform and entertain readers is essential.
You will need the knowledge of what makes a “good†VW Camper feature and find fresh angles to structure these. Be able to convey knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the VW Bus in all of its forms, both in talking with readers and in the writing of features.
A sound knowledge of key features of each generation of VW Bus (T1 through to T5) and understanding the appeal of the marque and how it has evolved. You should be able to converse and establish face to face rapport with VW Bus owners of all ages and have a “finger on the VW bus scene pulse†and know about trends, developments, and common modifications. You must be approachable and available to meet and interact with readers and owners face to face.
Other desirable qualities are a journalistic background with published articles, ideally motoring related. A thorough and detailed knowledge of VW Bus history, specifications, model types etc.
Desirable but not necessary qualities are that you own, drive and maintain a VW Bus.
Have some technical knowledge and understanding of basic mechanics and restoration issues and the ability to talk about this with owners and answer simple questions. Have contacts and networks with individuals and organisations from both the UK and International VW Communities. The job is full time and based in our head offices near Chester.
Please send CVs and current salary to: David Gamble, Publisher, The Old School, Higher Kinnerton, Chester CH4 9AJ or email [email protected]
