Probably the best editorial job you'll see advertised this year.

For over twenty five years, TNT Magazine has been an essential information lifeline to millions of Antipodeans and South Africans living and working in the UK offering them a lively and compelling mix of travel, lifestyle, sport and entertainment news as well as jobs and accommodation ads.

Now with its own highly interactive website, TNT has a global community of travellers logging on to share travel stories and tips, get advice on moving to the UK and find out what's going on when they get here.

Together with the recently relaunched South African Times and SATimes.co.uk, TNT is the clear leader in its field.
