[KatieMumsnet]

Mumsnet is looking for a bright, organized and experienced press officer to come and work with our busy Communications team.

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.

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

yes let's swap katiemumsnet. I will even lend you my stethoscope. I'd love to visit MN towers!

Thanks makescakes. I'd love that official job. I might start a campaign

I was thinking the same thing Norfolk........... English teacher here with media experience.........GISAJOB :}

Cheese - tell me what's wrong with my baby and i'll lend you my media comms experience for free to support your campaign!

I know an experienced press officer type person,her names nadine. Will send her an email!

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...

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

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!

I would be useless. :(

But I will donate my [hardhat]

Oh hang on, it said 'bright'...

I am good with media types (reader, I married him). No, I am not Nadine.

I'm all those things apart from experienced

Would you consider a trainee? I'm good in a crisis and my communication skills are awesome as are my wine bottle opening skills

I am good at yelling at people. I can make grown men cry with one look.

Lots of press people making the move over to press office - so why not apply? Writing will be a key part of the role - so that bit is very relevant.

Ok now you really have tempted me Katie but I'm not sure the commute is doable

KatieMN your timing is a bit off. I just started my new press officer job yesterday and unfortunately I think I really ought to try to make a go of it.

I'd like to complain that you are being speciesist. It should be open to males and females otherwise you have ruled out dragons and zombies and Chickens with no lips or eyebrows, and puffins (narked or otherwise) not to mention a vast swathe of bears.

I really would be fantastic at it... honest. I am a qualified teacher working as a receptionist in North Wales- and i drag a comb through my hair every day in North Wales

Go ooooon MN, I would be a fabullous candidate if you opened an office in North Wales

fabulous.

I can also spell. Honest. A* in English Literature and English Language GCSE, B in English Literature A Level

I can't spell and have never told Justine what I got in GCSE English!

I also know lots of swear words and many many insults.

I can write, haven't done anything like this for years though. Are there relocation expenses? I could travel if you don't mind me being a little late.

Just let me know when you need a weather lady.

In all seriousness, I really do think MN should have an office in North Wales. It could be used as a holiday destination as well! I have seen plenty of Welsh mumsnetters on the boards, we even have a Welsh language chat thread.

I am happy to relinquish the position of Press Officer in London for a n easier job in the new office - I am available for full time hours, including evenings and the odd weekend, and am not even nearly bilingual.

I'm all of it apart from experienced. However I'm good at writing and have done some free lance journalism for mainly The Daily Mail, The Mirror and The Sunday Telegraph. I also know one end of a stethoscope from the other and could talk medical stuff to impress Katie.

I could pack in midwifeing and commute!
