The skipper has decided to create a new post in the Ship's company. Whether this piece of job creation will attract the wodge of EU and government subsidies that he has in mind remains to be explored.
The role is that of Ship's Witch. It should be pointed out at this juncture that XII Bar Blues is an equal-opportunity employer and values gender balance in its crew and thus applications are encouraged from both sexes.
The skill profile is straightforward and requires experience of putting spells on motor boats that create wash in anchorages. The successful applicant will have extensive contacts in the relevant supply chain (The skipper does not want to spend his time searching for eye of newt and toe of frog in the local supermarket let alone trying to get scale of dragon and tooth of wolf from the pushers on the corner).
Pay will be strictly performance related.
