Comments
Potential applicants may be interested to know that the location is in Surrey (which is a fat lot of good for any committed climbers), that it appears that they want someone to work for just two afternoons per week, and that a rate of pay would need to be negotiated. Why they couldn't put vital details like that in the advert I have no idea.
Not that it's of interest to me, but looking for a friend it's gobsmacking how much of people's time they're happy to waste by not highlighting such obvious things in a job advert.
