Official sweet taster is a sweet job
If you have got a sweet tooth this could be the ideal job, a confectionary company is looking for an official sweet taster.
Swizzels Matlow, makers of Love Hearts, Rainbow Drops and Parma Violets are hiring someone for one year in a bid to help them develop new sweets.
The lucky applicant will sample ranges of highly confidential prototype sweets to offer their opinion on.
As such they will need a good sense of taste, smell and an eye for package design ... they should also have their own dental plan.
A spokesman for the company said of the role: "By bringing an official sweet taster on board, we’re hoping to get a new and original take on the confectionary products of the future.
"He or she will then be required to taste them and feedback on all aspects - from flavour, aroma and colour through to packaging.
"The taster will also offer their thoughts on how they could be improved."
The company has been making sweet history since 1928 and currently employs around 600 staff at its New Mills premises in Derbyshire, but the new sweet taster will be able to work from home.
