We’re looking for people to join our team of local contributors for Thame.net (established 1998).

If you enjoy writing and want to contribute to the website then we have lots of ideas but are also open to new ideas from YOU! We’re looking for people to write articles, support the website updates, get involved in social media – and much more. It’s a great way to meet people and get involved in local activities – plus it’s good for the CV if you fancy a future career in writing/media or marketing.

This is NOT a paid position at the moment – but who knows what will happen in the future. Please only contact us if you WANT to get involved and not because it could turn into a paid role.

  • Involvement in local events and activities
  • Work that helps you feel connected to your local town and community
