Work that is still here in ten years.
6,400 colleagues in nineteen countries — reporters, engineers, sellers, archivists and the people who keep the presses running.
An unfashionably long view.
Montlior is owned by people who intend to keep it. That single fact shapes everything about what it is like to work here.
It means we can staff a bureau that will not pay for itself for five years. It means a reporter can spend eight months on a story that may not run. It also means we move more slowly than our competitors, and we are candid with candidates about that trade.
We train our own. Two-thirds of our senior editors joined the Group as trainees, and the Chancery Quay traineeship has run without interruption since 1974.
I was told at interview that the job would be harder and slower than the offer I had elsewhere. Fourteen years later, that is still the most honest thing anyone has said to me in a recruitment process.Senior correspondent, Montlior News
Terms that assume you will stay.

The Group indemnifies and defends its journalists. We have never settled a case in order to withdraw a story we believed to be true.
Time to learn
Ten paid days a year for training, plus sabbatical eligibility after seven years of service.
Mobility
Internal moves between titles, brands and the nineteen countries in which the Group operates.
Pay transparency
Salary bands are published internally for every role, and the pay gap report is published externally each year.
Pension & leave
Employer pension contribution of 10 per cent, 28 days' leave, and equal parental leave for all parents from day one.

The Chancery Quay Traineeship.
Twenty-four places each year, across reporting, sub-editing, photography, data journalism and distribution engineering. Two years, fully paid, with a rotation through three titles and one overseas bureau.
Applications do not ask for a degree, and are assessed without names or institutions attached. Two-thirds of the Group’s senior editors came through it.
