Mumsnet

Who we are

Mumsnet is the UK’s biggest website for parents, and our purpose is to make their lives easier. We’ve got some of the busiest forums in Europe, with users offering each other advice and support 24/7, plus editorial content, reviews and campaigns. We aim to be the UK’s go-to brand for parents, and - for our staff - a great place to work.

Why work for us?

We focus on steady, sustainable growth while putting purpose before profit. We expect great performance, agility and collaboration in every role; cross-team working with talented, clever people is the best part of life at Mumsnet. We embraced flexible and home working a long time before COVID, and we care much more about outputs than hours on the clock. We know that everyone makes mistakes, and we value people who discuss them openly and share how they’ve learned from them.

We don't only want to hire the best people: we want to retain them. If you need some flexibility, let us know and we’ll do our best. We’re committed to diversity and quality (see our policy here) and we think we’re second to none in the all-round support we offer to parents and carers at work (see our parental leave policies here). Working for Mumsnet means never having to pretend you don’t have a family or other commitments, and we promise never to keep you away from a school appointment. We are also proud to be a London Living Wage employer and we have never used unpaid interns.

Pre-COVID, we had a healthy line-up of sandwich lunches, knowledge sessions, choirs, bookclubs, yoga sessions and sports teams, as well as an unhealthy line-up of staff parties at Kentish Town’s excellent pubs and restaurants, and McDonald’s deliveries for the mornings after.

Where we are

We’re based in sunny Kentish Town, where you’re never more than 500 metres away from a sourdough pizza and an elaborately refurbished pub.

Covid and WFH

We’ve continued to embrace flexibility and remote working to the max. You’ll only be required to be in the office one to two days a week (although you can go in more often if you wish).
