Introduction

The BBC News website is one of the world's largest and most popular news sites, with mobile and desktop editions for the UK and International audiences, as well as US and Asia editions, plus UK-facing and International-facing apps.

We are expanding our digital news operation in Sydney recruiting digital journalists to cover international and UK news in text and video.

It will work closely with teams working in London, Washington DC and Singapore and work alongside a small team of journalists already based in Sydney covering Australian news.

Interviews for the role are expected to take place in the week of 20th January.
