Dream job alert! Become a spa reviewer this summer

Forget a retirement – the world's best job has just opened up. It'll be hard work, but someone's got to do it...

SpaSeekers are recruiting an official 'spa-ologist' this summer to help test out some of the country's best spas – a highly desired but incredibly difficult job indeed.

The spa tester will be required to sit back and relax in saunas, hot tubs and on massage tables in four different spas across the UK. They'll have to swim in infinity pools, eat light lunches in fluffy white gowns, and test out all the facials and pedicures available – and they'll get paid £500 for the privilege.
