Is there such thing as the perfect job?

Work is a part of most of our lives - it's what pays the bills.

While some people love their job, others tolerate it and plenty hate it, do we think there's such thing as the perfect job?

According to a recent survey, one third of people believe they're actually working their dream job.

Raja Workplace commissioned a survey to poll 2,000 UK workers to find out more about what makes a ‘dream job’.

It shows what employees value the most within a working environment.

So, what makes a dream job?

One of the most important things for people appears to be hours, pay and overall vibe.

Hours - people said a 21-30 hour working week was most ideal

Pay - people want a salary of £44,355 (€52286.11) per year

Holiday/days off - the optimum time off was 29 days annual holiday per year

Travel - People wanted a commute of between 16-20 minutes

And vibe - people said having a supportive boss was important to them.

When it comes to working environment, people valued a tidy office space (72%), including comfy chairs, clean desks, free tea/coffee and soft lighting.

Around half of people said having a blend of individual and teamwork was important to them.

What about that supportive boss - what qualities do they need?

People want their boss to be supportive, treat people equally, be knowledgeable, show interest and be a good role model.

As well as all that, people reckon work benefits go a LONG way.

The top 10 benefits people want are:

  • Regular pay rises
  • Excellent pension
  • Bonuses for great work
  • Day off on your birthday
  • Health/dental insurance
  • Chances to learn/ good training
  • Free tea/coffee
  • Chances to advance
  • Training opportunities
  • Casual office wear
