We’re looking for a moderator to work with us from our offices in Bath on our March 2020 activities.

You can (and should) find out more about the activities at: I’m a Scientist and I’m an Engineer Ireland.

  • Hours: 37.5/week, 09:00—17:00 GMT

  • You should be bright, thoughtful, able to pick stuff up easily
  • You’ll have great attention to detail (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
  • You are capable and confident online, perhaps have experience in an online community
  • The site is all built on WordPress, so if you’ve used that the techy stuff will be pretty familiar
