Join our team
We’re a small organisation that consistently punches above its weight because of the energy, enthusiasm and dedication of our team. With diverse experience and perspectives, we’re united in our commitment to achieve the best possible outcomes for young people.
Current vacancies

Sorry, we currently have no vacancies — check back again soon! You can also follow us on Twitter to find out when we are recruiting.
Equality, diversity and inclusion
We want to meet the aims and commitments set out in our equality, diversity and inclusion policy. This includes not discriminating under the Equality Act 2010 and building an accurate picture of the people who apply for our vacancies, as well as who work for us. Please help us gain a clearer picture of the people who apply to First Story, by volunteering some more information. Thank you.
Work experience for young people
We’re keen to offer opportunities to young people — and particularly our Young Writers Programme alumni — to help you gain practical work experience that could enhance your academic or career prospects. First Story’s office is located in central London, which we know limits opportunities for young people living further away or in other parts of the country. We may be able to offer work experience based in our other regions (East Midlands and the North of England), depending on the time of year and circumstances. In the first instance please email us to tell us more about yourself and what you want to learn.
