    Words by Maisie Bovingdon

    Summer is just around the corner, so when the sunshine hits everybody wants to ditch their offices and channel their inner child by going out to play outside. Fact.

    So, what if we told you you could ditch your nine to five for the perfect summer job, and it may involve sitting in a hot tub in various different spas.

    SpaSeekers are recruiting for an official spa and hot tub tester, and we can't cope.

    Your entire summer could involve getting pampered, practicing your lengths in infinity pools, and sitting back whiling away the hours in a jacuzzi, for £500.

    The successful candidate can choose any four days between Monday and Friday across July and August to visit four different spas in the UK assigned to them by the company.

    They will be given a VIP pass, one free treatment a day and unlimited use of the spa facilities at each venue, as well as two glasses of complimentary champagne.

    During each visit you will be required to share images and videos, being sure to tag SpaSeekers and using the hashtag too.

    But, there's a catch. Applicants have to be UK residents and 18 years old or over to sign up for the role, and payments will be received at the end of summer on 30th September when all the work is complete.

    However, if you can't attend a day the role will be offered to another entrant.

    The terms and conditions state: 'This is not an offer of full-time employment. You will be our summer spa tester and visit four different spas in the UK. Entries are only open to UK residents aged 18 or over.

    'You will be paid £500 at the end of summer (30th September 2019).'

    To apply for the role simply send a picture of your most-loved holiday picture with SpaSeekers on social media, whether it's you on holiday, on a beach, or sitting in the hot tub.

    Whether it is uploaded on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter remember to tag @spaseekers, alongside the hashtag #dreamsummerjob.

    The application closes on May 31st, and the winner of the competition will be announced on June 3rd.
