Wizards and witches needed to spell out the joys of remote working

With Halloween just around the corner, a remote working organisation is on the hunt to find the UK's most highly employable witches and wizards for a one-night career opportunity.

Remote Employment's job specification explains candidates suitable for this position must be able to show previous relevant experience, a proven track record and a portfolio overflowing with ‘tried and tested potions'.

In the role, successful applicants will spread the message of remote working and home working to employees, in fancy dress. And if the trial night on 31 October is successful, applicants may be recruited full time to promote remote working full time.

Paula Wynne, co-founder of Remote Employment, said: "I'm sure there are some great witches and wizards out there bursting to make themselves known so we want to find them. Witches and wizards are great remote workers, and we want to see the most outrageous witches and wizards job applications and have some fun doing so."

The best application wins a concoction of ‘wizardry tricks and treats'.
