The role will include responding to press enquiries, drafting press materials, planning media activity and occasionally dragging a comb through your hair and acting as a Mumsnet spokesperson.

The role is office-based, 3/4 days a week, salary £32 -36k pro-rata, dependent on experience.

For more info. email [email protected]

Hmmmm more 'press' than 'press officer' but thinking it may be time for a change considering whole industry is spiralling into meltdown anyway. Also can both bake and consume afore-mentioned biscuits. Other transferable skills? Er... know all my Disney princesses and can invent up to 20 verses of Old Macdonald and his global safari park experience. Yep. Definitely time to get back to work!

Why don't you get a nice new marketing manager? I make very nice cakes....

DoodleAlley · 20/03/2012 11:53

Do you need an official procrastinator? I feel I could be your ideal candidate.

Tbh I'd probably work for just tea and biscuits.

I could send you my details....tomorrow...maybe Thursday...

VivaLeBeaver · 20/03/2012 11:46

Cheeseandbiscuits · 20/03/2012 11:30

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 20/03/2012 11:28

I think it'd be great to have a mn official doctor! Open a new position for that :-)

Giyadas · 20/03/2012 11:27

NorfolkNChance · 20/03/2012 11:20

Not a press officer (but teaching has some similarities doesn't it? surely? ) would love to work for MNHQ and biscuits seal the deal!

CoffeeMummy · 20/03/2012 11:19

Aw, I want this job!! Don't suppose you'd fancy moving the whole MN shebang up to Dundee...?

FrankWippery · 20/03/2012 11:18

KatieMumsnet · 20/03/2012 11:10

Oooh, now I'd love to be a doctor - perhaps we could have a job swap on a Weds! Could I borrow your white coat?

Job starting date ASAP - but with a little flex for the right candidate. Sorry - should have put a closing date on the OP - 6th April.

Hmmmm. Sounds like something I'd fancy actually. When's it to start?

Cheeseandbiscuits · 20/03/2012 10:54

Hmmm do you need a mumsnet doctor? I'd love to come and work for you and I'm just up the road.

Damn. The west coast line stops at Euston.

Damn. Also not a press officer.

Any need for a regional correspondant?
