Magic job: £50,000 a year witch

In the wake of the last ‘Best Job in the World’ vacancy, a Somerset tourist attraction is now advertising a £50,000-a-year post for a witch to live in a cave.

Wookey Hole Caves, near Wells, is using the Job Centre to recruit someone to teach visitors about witchcraft and magic after its previous employee retired.

The successful applicant ‘must be able to cackle’, and ‘must not be allergic to cats’. They will receive a pro rata salary of £50,000 working during school holidays and at weekends.

The role is open to men, women and even trans-gender witches to comply with sexual discrimination laws.

Daniel Medley, from Wookey Hole Caves, said: “The job is straightforward: live in the cave, be a witch, and do the things witches do.

“We are witchless at the moment so we need to get the role filled as soon as possible. We are looking for someone who is friendly, a little mischievous and with lots of character.”
