Makers of Maltesers, Snickers and Mars Bars need new chocolate tasters

An amazing job opportunity has come up for lovers of chocolate.

Eight chocolate tasters are needed to join the team at the home of Maltesers, Snickers and Mars Bars, reports the MEN.

No experience is necessary, you just need to consider yourself as having "good taste buds" if you want to apply.

The applicants will be put through a rigorous interview process that will see them having to rate different foods on a scale from one to 15 for how sweet, savoury, bitter or salty they are.

For those who secure a job with Mars Wrigley, six months of intensive taste training will commence before you get stuck into your role at the headquarters in Slough.

In their new roles, the successful chocolate tasters will then asses a wide range of confectionery products, participate in product and sensory related training which will then be applied to the day to day job.

Working hours for the temporary roles are 12 hours, four days a week. The salary is between £9.76 and £10.25 an hour.

Linda Lopez, senior sensory manager at Mars Wrigley, said: "We are thrilled to be recruiting for our next group of Chocolate Tasters.

"We encourage anyone that has an interest in the textures and tastes of chocolate to apply – we'll train you in the rest!"

The closing date for applications is July 8. Those wanting to apply can  do so here.
