Want to be a Domestic Slut? We're hiring!

Do you know where to find the very best in British design? Can you tell our readers about an amazing secret hotel that they won't have heard about? Can you knock up wonderful recipes in the kitchen? Then we'd like to hear from you! Laura is going travelling for a couple of months (we're jealous, our desks aren't on a beach) so we're looking for someone to step in for the summer. If we like you, you might even get to stick around once Laura has come home. We've made her promise to come home, even though her trip sounds amazing.

So what do you get for joining Team Sluttery? Well you get paid per post (not exactly thousands, we're still only little) and you'll get to work on some cool projects (you all saw the Domestic Sluttery book, right?) You'll also get the chance to go on trips across Europe and the UK and you'll get ace stuff in the post. There's a bottle of gin on our desk and recently Kat was sent a shed load of cheese. Oh, and karaoke. Lots of that.

What do we need from you? You must have blogging experience. We don't care if it's on your own blog, or professional writing experience - just something that shows you understand blogging and the back end of a CMS. You've also got to be able to take a pretty decent photo - have you seen Nick and Hazel's photography?! You don't need your own studio in your back garden, but we do need something better than you snapping away on your iPhone. You'll need to be able to commit to two posts a week, but you can write from anywhere in the UK. And you do need to live in the UK - we won't be budged on that.

Got all that? Then send us three ideas for stuff you'd write about, including one idea for a food piece (take a look at the food and drink section for more of an idea of what we're looking for - we've got gluten free recipes ticked off). We only need the ideas, don't write the entire posts. Email us at [email protected] telling us a little bit about yourself. Don't try and wow us with stuff we've written about already - we'll almost certainly delete your application if you send us three things we've covered. If you've applied before, you can apply again and you've got until NOON ON FRIDAY AUGUST 3rd to get in touch (nope, no late applications allowed). We get hundreds of applications but we'll get in touch soon after that if you're shortlisted. It's a team decision so be patient with us while we decide.

Good luck everyone! We can't wait to hear from you.
