Canta - Feature Writer

Canta Magazine is looking for a talented Feature Writer to join our team. This is a fixed-term role, working five hours per week starting 14 July 2025, through to late October 2025.

As a Feature Writer, you’ll be creating thoughtful and engaging content for both print and online. You’ll cover a range of topics that matter to students, working closely with the Print Editor to craft articles that reflect Canta’s voice and values—student-led, inclusive, and connected to campus life.

You’ll help shape the tone of Canta, contributing to a student voice that’s smart, relevant, and community focused. There’s also the opportunity to think visually, ensuring your pieces don’t just read well, but look great too.

If you’re into storytelling, enjoy writing about things that matter to students, and want to help shape the conversation on campus, we’d love to hear from you.

If you have any questions about joining the team, feel free to contact Heidi Slade, Canta Managing Editor, at editor@canta.co.nz, or Tayla Styles, UCSA Marketing and Communications Manager, at tayla.styles@ucsa.org.nz.

Applications close 8 July 2025. We’ll be reviewing applications as they’re received and reserve the right to hire before the closing date - so don’t delay.

To apply, please submit your application through our careers website, including a cover letter, CV, and two samples of your writing.
