As is expected in this country, talented individuals will be going to JCP whilst waiting for a suitable opportunity to come along.

What a funny job spec and check out where they've advertised it.

No mention of remuneration, or is it payment in schwag?  3

Would be nice to work in the cycling industry, alas, not likely to happen.  2

As a happy cyclist I'm not really keen on moving from Amsterdam to Bath for a job but it would be cool to help this great site forward  1

In any case, let's hope the new guy also can sort out the web hosting and takes care of a proper SSL certificate so our user names and passwords aren't readable by hackers any more  19

Sounds nice, shame I'm not a web developer.

Any tea-boy related opportunities?

"Honey, do you fancy moving to Bath?"

Sounds like a great job, (though if I'm honest php isn't my thing).

I'm still looking for the "three days at the bike shop, two days at the brewery" dream jobs....

If "thing" is a matter of liking it rather than one of experience with it then I'd worry about anyone who said PHP was their thing  3

Anyway, if I was still single and child-free I'd probably be chucking my hat in the ring. But I'm not, so I won't be. Bah.

Good luck with it. Can you set candidates a "write a template and query to populate a user's profile page with a list of posts they've commented on" task in the interview, and then stick the best one on the site, please?  1
