You could be paid to look after penguins in Antarctica

If you love penguins, this could be the job for you.

The charity UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) is advertising three positions at its Port Lockroy base on the Antarctic Peninsula.

They're looking for a base leader, shop manager for its gift shop and a general assistant.

And yes, international applications are welcomed as long as you have the right to work in the UK.

But you'll also get the chance to see penguins up close:

Peeping over snow topped mountains sounds nice, but UKAHT are warning you'll need to be hard-headed for the role.

There will be "minimal" communication as there's no Wi-Fi or phone data on Port Lockroy.

Applicants will need to be free to work from November to March, according to the trust's job description.

They'll also have to be "inspirational" and "committed" people and have applied by midnight on April 25th.

Would it be worth the payoff?
