Morning all! As the title suggests, I'm after a job. Does anyone know of a company that needs a Technical Author (either
contract or permanent)?

For those that aren't sure what I do, I write things such as: user guides, operating instructions, policies, procedures, and the help that comes with software, websites etc. (Press F1 on most software to find it.) Doesn't matter if it's paper based or online, HTML, etc.

I've checked all the usual agencies & sites (Jobserve etc.) but no luck so far. I've been contracting for a couple of years (Vodafone, Motorola, NTL, Elsevier Science to name some places) but am considering permanent places too.

I live in Worcester but spend lots of time in Reading (girlfriend's place) so M3, M4, M5, and M40 corridors would be easiest.

You can e-mail me at: sweb65@hotmail.com.

Cheers,
Steve

The company I work for uses technical authors. We have two full time and at least one contracter.

Don't know if they need more, but they might. Email me if you're interested.

Uncle B, thanks for the contact details. Looks interesting.

Steve,

I would try QuinetiQ or Dstl in Malvern. I think QuinetiQ still have the Software Engineering Centre in Malvern and I know they use Technical Authors (or at least used to).

Also, with all the spin off companies starting up on the Science Park in Malvern, might be worth your while taking a look to see who is there and what they do.

Then just send them a letter saying you are available.

Cheers

Thanks Ian. I've a friend who's just starting at the DERA (or is it DRA now?) financial centre so she's going to have a poke round the HR dept for me too.

Cheers,
