Through MoneySuperMarket, MoneySavingExpert, Quidco, and our B2B partnerships, we support over 24 million unique monthly visitors, helping UK households save billions of pounds each year. We’re incredibly proud of that.

ABOUT THE ROLE
MoneySavingExpert (MSE) is launching a paid internship scheme for aspiring journalists. This six-month opportunity will embed you within our busy editorial team, where you’ll help create content that reaches over 10 million people each month.
You’ll be part of a buzzing media organisation that always puts the consumer first, helping them save money and campaigning for financial justice. You’ll get hands-on experience writing and publishing stories, creating multi-channel content, and learning from some of the UK’s top financial journalists.
While this internship doesn’t lead directly to a permanent role, we encourage interns to apply for future opportunities within the editorial team or elsewhere in MONY Group.

We’re especially keen to hear from people who:
Are enthusiastic and full of energy
Are proactive and eager to learn
Have some experience working in a team or office environment (a plus, but not essential)
This scheme is designed to support those who are new to the industry, so it’s only open to applicants who haven’t yet established a career in journalism.

So, we value willpower, and the tenacity to take on challenges and push ideas through. In return, we’ve created an environment where those with spirit and drive will really shine.

And we’re committed to creating an environment where our people can excel both professionally and personally. Driven by our customers and users, the market and each other, we work hard. But it’s worth it. Because even better than the flexibility, support and career growth is the feeling we get from seeing the impact we have on millions of UK households to save money. What we do together is beyond comparison. We're home to amazing brands and over 600 talented colleagues. You might be familiar with our brands - and maybe you've even used some of our services.
