I'm not sure I'm allowed to post this sort of thing, MN may be along in a minute to tell me off but ...
... I want to recommend to my big boss that instead of trying to recruit one full-time PR post to cover a lot of bases, we split a new proposed post in two and look for two part-timers who have complementary skills eg 1 x internal comms, 1 x marketing (or something of that sort), both with at least a bit of digital experience. This would probably look like 3 days a week each, although could also potentially be school hours, I'm agnostic on this. It's based Home Counties (I won't say where) in the sort of place that MNers would move to if they wanted to leave London. Salary would be £30-£40K pro rata based on experience (I think, without checking the existing job description). Public sector-y.
So ... although I think there ought to be a whole raft of good applicants out there who would be interested in a part-time post like this, when they may not be interested in a full-time one, I don't have any real evidence that this is the case (bar all the articles in the paper saying parents with the option would like to work part time). So I'm asking the question here, to see what you all think.
