As some of you may have realised I am
seven months pregnant and although we are a friendly mummy-filled office, I don't think it would be wise to bring a
newborn into gurgle with me! So, I thought I'd mention that we are currently looking for my
maternity replacement for the end of March for six months. Bear in mind that this is a full-time position. Our ideal candidate would have journalism experience as well as print and web experience. The candidate would also have to be educated to degree level and obviously a knowledge and understanding of parenting and babies is essential! Technically it would help to have an understanding of online content publishing and basic HTML. If you think you would be suited to this role, please email me on nifa@gurgle.com, attaching your CV and a cover letter. gurgle.com is based in Soho, London.
We apologise to anyone who is having problems
registering today. There is a bug on our postcode finder that we are frantically trying to fix. If you are desperate to register on gurgle (we know you must be) you can always try another postcode (any postcode will do) until we have fixed the problem later today. Again, sorry if you are experiencing problems and I hope you can register with us soon!
If you are in a similar situation to me (you are working and pregnant) why not read up about
maternity rights and pay and on the types of
Maternity leave offered in the UK. Also see
