Player Valuation: £60m
It's the dream role for an old hag with an evil laugh - a job centre is advertising for a witch to work in a cave this summer.
Wookey witch Jane Brenner is hanging up her broomstick
The Wookey Hole Caves, near Wells, Somerset, is looking for a part-time member of staff to teach visitors about witchcraft and magic - and they must cackle as they do it.
With a salary of £50,000 pro rata based work during school holidays, weekends, Christmas and Halloween, the role is open to male, female and even trans-gender 'witches'.
But interested candidates "must not be allergic to cats", the ad states.
The Wooky Hole is laced with stalactites and stalagmites
Daniel Medley, from Wookey Hole Caves, said: "The job is straightforward: live in the cave, be a witch, and do the things witches do."
Legend has it that Wookey Witch was turned to stone by Father Bernard who had been appointed by the Abbott of Glastonbury to rid villagers of her curse.
Mr Medley added: "Wookey Hole wants the appointee to go about her everyday business as a hag, so that people passing through the caves can get a sense of what the place was like in the Dark Ages.
"This was when an old woman lived in the caves with some goats and a dog, causing a variety of social ills including crop failures and disease."
The successful candidate will replace Wookey witch Jane Brenner, who is reportedly moving to a different post after six years in the job.
If you think you can conjure up some toil and trouble, auditions are being held on July 28 in front of a panel of judges.
Witches will be assessed on their costumes and character and their performance in the 'witch tests'.
I could think of a few possible candidates
