Do you want to be a Mumsnet Local Editor?

[EmmaMumsnet]

If you saw the last recruitment thread, we did well in getting people started& All over the country, Local Editors are beavering away at making your local site a useful hub for parents.

We are still looking for new Local Editors in some locations (see the helpful list at the bottom of the thread!). Read a little about the role below and if you're interested in finding out more please email [email protected] with 'interested in becoming a Local Editor' in the subject field. It helps if you tell us a bit about yourself in the email.

What's in the Local Editor role? 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.

They also oversee Local Ambassadors, who are busy organising meet-ups, 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 phase II is coming soon.

Some of the sites are still a bit empty, so take a look around our Manchester & Trafford Haringey or Surrey sites to see what they look like when they are 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.

There's Devon, Plymouth and Somerset as well as Exeter… Does that help? The only one of those without a Local Editor in place already is Plymouth. Does that help?

There's only one way to get it going, and you know what I'm going to say…

It isn't now you can choose a Home site and other favourites. Once you've chosen a Home site, you just click on Find a Local Site in the main site, and you're straight there. One click! Also, you can keep the same name in Local now – we changed the rules

[RhondaJean]

Ok Emma hint taken, I will email over the weekend!

@BeerTricksPotter

Mine's taken but it's still Dull As Dullsville in a Dullsville Drought.

You're obviously not posting there enough BeerTricks… But seriously, we know we've still got quite a bit of work to do. Whizzbang additions to come, honest.

[MarcelineTheVampireQueen]

Irish one emma?

[reelingintheyears]

God NO.

Effort.

Sorry.
