The beginning of the year is usually prime-time for recruiters looking for new candidates to fill positions as employees look to make moves towards to the Chinese New Year—but imagine trying to fill a vacancy for a bed warmer? This and queueing, drinking tea and eating crisps are all things we do on a daily basis but are also paying jobs available in Britain.
The specific role requirements for the above are as follows: a Professional Queuer is hired by agencies for £20 an hour to stand in lines; a Bed Warmer wears a special hygienic sleepsuit to become a human hot water bottle; a Professional Tea Taster will consume 300 cups of tea a day and utilise their half decade of training; and a Crisp Inspector has to expunge overdone or erratically shaped crisps.
The list was compiled by Unum, with each role accompanied with its corresponding yearly salary. Featured positions also include Pet Food Taster, £20,000; Cool Hunter, £25,000; and Walk On Water Architects, £35,000.
