Do you want to run a Mumsnet Local site?

[EmmaMumsnet]

Do you need a new packet of biscuits project to perk up Autumn and beyond?

Mumsnet Local is expanding all the time and we are looking for new Local Editors. Our current team of brilliant and dedicated Local Editors make sure their site is full of relevant listings, encouraging local Mumsnetters and businesses to post listings and reviews on the site and filling the gaps, so it's a useful community hub for local parents.

They also oversee Local Ambassadors, who are busy organising meet-ups all over the country, as well as encouraging community links locally. What Local Editors can't do is see anyone's private Mumsnet membership details or posting history (sorry, only the Community team are allowed in there).

We don't expect Local Editors to do all this for free; Local Editors get revenue from Local advertising and offers.

We know we're not quite there with Local yet, but we're moving along, and we're on the brink of launching some whizzy new stuff that Tech's been putting together in a bunker all summer.

We've pasted a list of the sites needing Local Editors below so if you're interested in finding out more please email [email protected] with 'interested in becoming a Local Editor' in the subject field.

Some of the sites are still a bit empty, so take a look around Kent to see what a site looks like when it's populated with meet-ups, listings, Local Talk, Offers, etc:

Ideally you would have had some experience in a media, advertising sales or organisational role and be able to spell, but bags of enthusiasm and strong community links can go a long way to making a local site a success.

[scrummummy]

oh has anyone applied for Waltham forest yet? I'll send a proper email in the morning

[confuddledDOTcom]

I've just heard this week, my papers will be off as soon as oh gets them printed!

[BinarySolo]

I emailed ages ago and have still heard nothing. Does that mean Kirklees is taken?

[NumTumDeDum]

S'ok. T'was a wee bit embarassing having to ask Emma, especially after I'd just emailed her my CV... As Homer would say, D'oh!

[Titsalinabumsquash]

Ahh, that's incredibly simple, I'm very that I didn't think of that! Thank you very much.

[NumTumDeDum]

Ah now Titsallin, that I can help with! You've been given am email address and password with the twitter details. Use that email address to join mn as a new member and your name is LocalEditor[insert area here]. You then verify the account by logging into your email account (page 19 hamdbook) using the password given with the email address. Hope that's clear. I had to ask too!

[Titsalinabumsquash]

New registration! How do we do that?! I've been editor for weeks now and have the handbook and stuff but no replies to emails about logins and Facebook logins etc.

[LocalEditorBournemouth]

If anyone is in Bournemouth & Poole and would like to volunteer as a Local Ambassador then please send me a message or email me: [email protected].

Good luck everyone who has applied. I'm really enjoying it so far.

[LocalEditorPortsmouth]

Just popped in to test the new registration worked not twirl about and show off and not after having to ask Emma stupid questions oh no.
Well would you look at that, it worked.

[evanscrittenmum]

Exciting! Is there a date for the training day?

[NumTumDeDum]

Yay! Have handbook and to do list. Now to get my insomniac ds to go to sleep so I can read it!

[evanscrittenmum]

I've just e-mailed regarding the Pembrokeshire site. We have lots to do in Pembrokeshire but only two theme parks listed on our local site. I would love to get it up and running. :-) Fingers crossed1

[mignonette]

I kept it pretty brief Kinect. No need for anything formal.

[Kinect]

Those of you that have received an offer, did you send a CV / more formal application?

I just sent a very brief email asking for more information and was going to send a more comprehensive, detailed submission based on the information Mumsnet sent

[Loupee]

I received my offer to be an editor today will get the agreement in the most on Monday. Quite excited!

[mignonette]

I sent mine by recorded Num because so many of my letters go missing.

[NumTumDeDum]

Bloody Royal Mail. Sent my agreement over a week ago and it hasn't arrived. Plan b involves storming dh's workplace and using their scanner.

[PlumSykes]

Has anyone been given Cardiff?

[mignonette]

That's more than I can do. Will make a start tomorrow and see what havoc and destruction I can rain down on poor old Suffolk!

[LocalEditorWalsall]

Thanks I may just do that. I just managed to import my email to run through Windows Live Mail so I no longer had to use that horrific interface, it hurt my eyes. So alas, there is progress. We can do this!

[mignonette]

It'll be okay. you can always Pm/email me and maybe we can muddle through together.

[LocalEditorWalsall]

Well I DID say I wanted a challenge mignonette, certainly got that

[mignonette]

Am thinking this is going to be a steep learning curve LeWalsall for us ....

[LocalEditorWalsall]

Oh dear, I think I'm confused, all of these 231 emails are MINE

[mignonette]

I'm a tad baffled by some of it and fairly aghast that I have to sign up to Facebook- yuck. I'll tackle it tomorrow.
