A PUB near Glasgow is one the hunt for a new employee who will be paid to drink beer and hang out with their pals.

The Projectionist Hungry Horse is searching for the UK’s first ever Pub-licist and is encouraging locals to apply for the coveted role.

The pub on Intu Braehead Leisure, is advertising the dream job for pub goers and calling for a local spokesperson to represent the pub company in return for a £500 salary.

As well as drinking on the job, the Pub-licist will also be faced with responsibilities that include tucking into pies, lasagne, and fish and chips, and attending entertainment events at their local pub, on top of playing the odd game of darts, karaoke or taking part in the pub quiz.

The Pub-licist will also be required to make a number of visits to their local, in order to provide feedback and recommendations to help make their pub the best in the country.

David Coles, general manager at the Projectionist, said: “Nothing beats the atmosphere and comradery of a local pub – and it really is the guests who make it such a great place to be.

“We’re searching for a pub fanatic who just loves a trip to their local, to become our first ever Pub-licist and help us to become the best pub the community.

“So, if you fancy taking part in a pub quiz, sipping on a cold beer or tucking into traditional pub classics – all while getting paid to do so, then we want to hear from you. We’d love it if the UK’s first ever Pub-licist was from Glasgow!”

Each task must be reviewed thoroughly and key feedback provided to management, to help the pub stay ahead of competitors and retain its role as the hub of the community.

The winning candidate should know their cask from their craft, be a pro at pub quizzes and have a taste for the finest pub-grub.

Interested applicants should visit hungryhorse.co.uk/publicist before Tuesday, November 13, explaining why they’ve got what it takes to be Hungry Horse’s first Pub-licist.
