Dream job with a catch: in Ireland they are looking for caretakers for the island (4 photos)

Are you tired of your work and the benefits of civilization? We have found a great offer for you that will make you wonder if everything in your life is really so dark.





The stunningly picturesque Great Blasket Island with its colony of seals, endless ocean views, unforgettable landscapes and prehistoric monuments is looking for two hard workers or a married couple for the summer season. It starts in April and lasts until October.

There was once a fishing village there in the 50s of the last century, but then people simply left this island. Currently it is a tourist location.



The responsibilities of the workers include maintaining cleanliness and order in 4 guest houses and a coffee shop. Check-in and service of guests in the coffee shop, which is open until 17:00.

It would seem, well, beautiful, but employers immediately warn that there will be a lot of work, because in the middle of summer there is a very large influx of tourists. So there are no days off. Laundry is also problematic; for this you need to travel to the mainland, or wash in basins. And, of course, if something happens, it will take several hours to get to the nearest hospital.





They offer to live in a room above a coffee shop. Meals are paid for; in the evening you can light the stove to cook food and warm up. The employer will deliver the products daily.

During the busiest months, assistants may be available. It is not known how much such work will ultimately be paid.

“This is a difficult position and caretakers must understand that they are on an island with very limited resources,” the ad warned.



Sounds like the beginning of a good survival movie or thriller.
