We have an opportunity for an East-Anglia based proofreader to work remotely on a freelance basis for our established and growing business in Family Support Work and Child Contact Services. The role is to proofread short, non-technical reports written by our employees following sessions they spend with families they work with.
The reports are competently written, so it is a matter of checking clarity, grammar, punctuation, spelling, consistency of formatting and so on. You would be tracking text changes in Microsoft Word, so proficiency with this is a given. You would also be offered an induction training and access to our Proofreading guide document.
Previous experience in proofreading is essential. The volume of reports each week to check will vary, but you would need daily availability as we have to submit reports within tight deadlines. Each report should take up to 20 minutes to process, so please ensure you would be able to accommodate up to 2 hrs a day, if needed in busy times.
This role can be fitted very conveniently around other work/personal commitments. You will need an exceptional eye for detail and the ability to work independently and communicate clearly, together with excellent organisational skills. You should have a recent DBS check covering child workforce, or be willing to apply for one. We are looking for someone who is based in Norfolk or within East Anglia generally. This is a freelance post, invoices would be submitted by the proofreader monthly. The current hourly rate is £13 per hr.
