Maltesers, Snickers and Mars are looking to pay someone to taste their chocolates

Those with a sweet tooth need look no further as we have found the perfect job.

The HQ of Maltesers, Snickers and Mars Bars are on the hunt for eight lucky candidates to fill dream jobs as part of the taster team.

The ideal candidate need not have experience, but they must consider themselves to own "a good set of taste buds".

Successful applicants will be invited to a rigorous interview taste test that will see them rating different foods on a scale from 1 to 15 for how bitter, sweet, savoury and salty the products are.

Those who manage to secure a job with Mars Wrigley will have to complete a six-month course of intensive taste training at their headquarters in Slough before assessing a wide range of chocolatey goodies.

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 and they can be made here .
