Secret Linen Store wants to pay you to watch Love Island

If getting paid to watch Love Island and generally pamper yourself and relax of an evening sounds like a dream gig, then Secret Linen Store has just the thing. It has opened applications for its latest job vacancy - a relaxation researcher.

It said that, as life get more and more busy and with downtime becoming more precious, it is looking for someone to test out popular relaxation methods to find out which are the best for inducing a great night’s sleep. The job will involve doing certain tasks that many people do before bed, including watching Love Island, completing a skincare routine and listening to true crime podcasts.

A full review of each of the night-time routines will then be submitted, which provides details on how relaxed the relaxation researcher feels after each, and how well they slept that night. The role needs to be completed over the course of a month and the successful applicant will receive a £300 salary just to laze about - as well as Secret Linen Store nightwear and a bed set.

Secret Linen Store said it was looking for someone who loves to laze, is an expert in all things relaxation and is willing to be paid to wind down. The specific tasks of the job include:

  • Watching the latest episode of Love Island
  • Completing a minimum of three step skincare routine and take a calming bath or shower
  • Listening to three different podcasts, including true crime, comedy, and news
  • Cosying up with a book and a cup of tea
  • Using Spotify or YouTube to complete a meditation exercise or yoga class

Molly Freshwater, co-founder of Secret Linen Store, said: “As we continue to move towards a hybrid working way of life, the lines between work and home can become blurred. More and more people are working later into the evenings, meaning by the time you go to bed, your brain finds it hard to switch off, often going without a ‘wind down’ period before you head off to sleep.

“With this in mind, we’d love to give to give someone the opportunity to dedicate time in the evenings to relax and to take on the important task of finding out the ultimate calming pre-bed routine. We know our pyjamas and bedding sets are perfect for getting the best night’s sleep, but it’s so important to take time out in the evening (if you can!) to really switch off and help get you in the perfect relaxed state for bed. Hopefully the findings of the research will help people do just that.”

Applications are now open and will close on July 3. All you need to do is fill in the application and tell Secret Linen Store why you deserve to be paid to laze. For the full list of responsibilities and to apply for the role, visit the company's website.
