Note from Martin:

Hi folks,

Just a quick note about this. I know from past e-mails many of you would like to get involved in the site and its fantastic you do so. So I thought it fair to let you know that its very unlikely this job would have much room for progression to become part of editorial team. I really want someone who is happy to keep doing this job, it's an important one. It probably best suits a current student, parent, someone nearing retirement who wants a fun job to do to bring in some cash rather than someone looking for a MoneySaving career, though of course everyone will be considered.


Martin

    Its one hour short for working tax credits, so might not be so good for parents :undecided
