The position is only open to those with suitable experience who are only looking for a one-day career.
You must be the owner of a fully taxed broom (must borrowed from your Mother-In-Law) and you should have the appropriate operator’s license. A state of the art broom, complete with sat nav, breakdown cover and turbo boost, will enhance your prospects of selection for this role.
One of the job requirements will be to wear a uniform, which you are expected to supply. This will be a tall black hat, a long black sweeping cloak and long false nails.
Blackened teeth goes with the job but yellow or hairy ones will be rejected. The successful candidate can be expected to be remunerated with sweets, potions, candle-burnt pumkins and an enviable selection of smoked and dried newt, bat and frog parts.
About you:
* You will preferably have a pointed nose with large warts (and all). Crooked noses and stooped backs also considered.
* Bearded witches preferred, but all shapes and sizes could be ideal applicants.
* You must be able to show previous relevant experience and a portfolio of tried and tested potions.
* Curses accepted, but no cursing.
* Additional languages not essential. However, incomprehensible mumbling would be an advantage.
* A degree in physics, science or chemistry would be preferred by not essential as you could be accepted for a training role in future to help our team of witches and wizards to create home based spells and flexible working concoctions for the business community at large!
* A biology GCSE and a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the frog and bat is nothing but helpful!
Your role will involve whizzing around the Remote World to spread Halloween tricks to a largely unsuspecting audience, young and old. It could help your application if you show initiative and tell us how you would do this.
Period of employment – one night only on the 31st October.
If your night of mystic mayhem is successful you may be recruited full time to spread the magic of remote and home working across the nation, or at least be shortlisted for next year’s Halloween recruitment drive.
Our immediate response is urgently required! Tell us why you would make a great wizard or witch! CVs are unnecessary, just a paragraph about your credentials and excellence for this sought after role. Pictures may help, if you dare!

Life Changing Competition Gives Away £15K Home Business

Life Changing Competition Gives Away £15K Home Business
The Remote Worker Awards, in association with BT Business, and Helen O’ Grady Drama Academy are giving away a home based business worth £15k!
The Helen O’ Grady Special Award is the flagship Award in The Remote Worker Awards, which aims to raise awareness for remote and home working as the modern way of working.
This 'life changing' competition is open to everyone and so easy to win! Entrants with an interest or an enthusiasm for social interaction and communication with young people have to show how they would combine their love of drama or their experience of teaching children. The best entries will be in the running to win a successful full time business run from their home office.
The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy’s affordable international drama program is already delivered weekly to almost 13,000 children in the UK alone and to many more in twenty five other countries worldwide.
Schools recognise the value of the lessons in increasing children’s confidence, self esteem and skill in verbal communication – vital in the world of technology we live in today. Next term, Helen O’ Grady is introducing both pre-school and adult classes with specially written, age-appropriate curriculum.
MP John Bercow, following his review of the provision for children’s language development in schools said in August 2008: “The ability to communicate is an essential life skill for all children and young people in the 21st century. It is at the core of all social interaction. With strong communication skills, children can engage and thrive. Without them children will struggle to learn, achieve, make friends and interact with the world around them.”
The winner of the The Helen O’ Grady Special Award will become a Helen O’ Grady Principal and receive an exclusive territory to work in. They will also receive comprehensive initial training, regular ongoing support and reassuring financial advice. All for answering a three easy questions and showing why they should win this extraordinary Award.
Margaret Darley from Helen O’ Grady said: “An interest in and an enthusiasm for drama is far more important than formal drama training. With good teaching, smart administration and excellent marketing and promotion, the business potential is endless. Winning this Award will change someone’s life!”
The Remote Worker Awards has eight other categories where winners will walk away with a prestigious trophy and will enjoy up to £50k in prizes, including five business start ups, a Penthouse Garden Office worth £10k and a new career worth £3k!

Office Jobs Go Down The Tube

As commuters across the country get that ‘underground feeling’ and plan alternate routes to work with the news that another tube strike will disrupt transport to work tomorrow, remote workers and home workers will take the liberty of an extra lie in bed.
They won’t be stressed to get early trains or get into the fast lane of traffic congestion. Instead, they will amble into their home office, switch on their PC and prepare for another day at the office, without commuting interruption, for they are the ‘Home Working Nation'.
With 3.5 million Brits across the UK now working from home and many more millions working remotely, isn’t it about time this way of working became an even more every day work practise?
Thousands of commuters from the South East, the highest proportion of commuters, will spend the equivalent of an additional working day diverting around London in order to avoid the chaos. The region presents the greatest opportunity for the largest number of people to benefit from the introduction of new smarter working practices.
Ken Sheridan, an advocate of remote working and Director of Remote Employment, said (wearing bright pink pyjamas): “More tube strikes will illustrate the opportunity for productive working away from the office. More and more companies are getting in on the remote working action!”
Remote Employment, an online web service dedicated to connecting employers with job seekers who work remotely or work from home, has seen substantial expansion to their business and believes that the wider adoption of smarter working practices, such as flexible working, working from home, mobile and remote working will improve business productivity and reduce transport congestion, especially during tube strikes!
Working from home significantly improves efficiency, enabling businesses to be more competitive. BT are leaders in their flexible working policies and now have more than 70,000 flexible workers, with seven out of 10 people working flexibly and nearly 10% home based.
Remote Employment recently launched The Remote Worker Awards in association with BT Business, to highlight how remote working benefits business mobility, and they are offering life changing prizes such as a home based franchise worth £15k, an Open University study grant and five business start up kits. Along with this they are celebrating companies who are proud of their remote working practises in the Remote Employer Award.

Surrey Entrepreneur Deserves National Recognition
A young entrepreneur, Dean Rhodes-Brandon, who runs his own home business for deaf people called ‘Your Local Cinema’, has entered The Remote Worker Awards and hopes to achieve national recognition if he wins.
Remote Employment, a job site specialising in remote working and home working positions, has launched The Remote Worker Awards in association with BT Business to highlight how home working benefits the British public and their working life.
Dean runs on remote fuel. His whole business is run from a laptop with a mobile broadband USB stick. As Dean is profoundly deaf, and rarely ventures out to meet people face to face, he prefers to correspond almost entirely by email, so being a remote worker suits him perfectly.
Dean’s business, Your Local Cinema, is an information service for people with hearing or sight problems. Winning awards is great for creating awareness for a new business and Dean is hoping a possible win for him will result in local and national media coverage for more people to hear about his service.
Dean has an incredible story about how his own need and desire to watch films blossomed into a budding business, which now serves the needs of thousands of people across the country!
His company 'Your Local Cinema.com' has successfully ensured that the UK now leads the world in the field of cinema access. 'Your Local Cinema .com' is the only cinema listings service of its kind in the world and is sponsored by the UK film industry. The service aims to create awareness of - and increase audience figures for - subtitled and audio described (narrated) cinema releases and shows, for people with hearing or visual problems.
Dean was attracted to The Remote Worker Award Dean because he has never heard about a specific award for remote workers and believes it is great that remote and home workers are now being recognised with this Award.
Being profoundly deaf and having mild cerebral palsy, Dean has overcome adversity to get his business off the ground. He cannot undertake most trades or jobs so he started his business with the aim of persuading the cinema industry to become accessible to people with hearing problems, like himself, and somehow provide on-screen subtitles.
Over the years the industry has spent millions of pounds ensuring that most UK cinemas are now accessible to people like Dean.
Along with a trophy to honour the remote worker of the year, Dean would like to win the fantastic array of prizes to improve his 'home business' as well as the wonderful eco garden office up for grabs in the Vivid Green Award.
Dean works from his garden when the weather is good, his dining table when it's not, his bedroom in the evenings and the library when he is at College. He enjoys the flexibility of working for himself, from wherever he fancies working. Dean is certainly a young man with places to go and films to see. Even though he is at college three days a week, he is clearly not afraid of hard work and long days.
There are nine different award categories in the Remote Worker Awards, which includes a national search to find the most innovative business that demonstrates how remote working and home working has made a beneficial impact on their business and home life. Dean is now in the running to win the The BT Home Business Award.
Paula Wynne, founder of Remote Employment and The Remote Worker Awards, said, "The Home Worker Awards comes at a time when thousands of people across the UK are faced with job losses or reduced hours. The Awards aim to raise awareness of remote and home working as an alternate solution the traditional nine to five office routine. We want to unearth inventive pioneers who champion home working and show the UK why more enterprises should give it a go!"
There are other categories including The Remote Worker Award and The Remote Employer Award.
For your chance to win one of these fantastic awards, enter at www.remoteworkerawards.
Notes:
The Remote Worker Awards will highlight how remote and home working benefits the environment, business productivity and employees' quality of work life.
The Remote Worker Awards will change lives!
Everyone who works remotely or works from home and employers who have remote workers are able to enter. And anybody who wants to work from home can also enter to win a £15k home based franchise of their very own as well as other great prizes, one of them being a Garden Home Office worth £10k! The Open University Skills Award gives someone the chance to train or re-train for a brand new career!
About Your Local Cinema
The cinema industry uses Dean’s service to reach out to people with hearing or sight problems who are interested in going to the cinema. All cinemas with a subtitle & audio description system email my service their listings each week.
Dean sorts them all out, and every week sends out an e-newsletter to more than 60,000 addresses, containing those subtitled and described films, locations and show times. There are around 500 subtitled shows every week, and thousands more audio described shows in more than 300 cinemas nationwide.
Dean’s company is an advocate for the public, and deals with representatives of the cinema/film business on behalf of the public.
It's a member of the film industry's 'Disability Working Group', a collection of representatives from cinema, distribution and technology companies, as well as representatives from the main charities for people with hearing or sight problems. This group meets regularly to review and plan the future of 'accessible' cinema.
It began with a campaign, with a petition to the cinema industry. Dean trialed it in his school, which had a dozen deaf students and the petition got over a thousand names from that school alone. So he launched a website to publicise the petition nationally and over the next year or so got many, many thousands of names. Eventually Dean took the petition to the UK Film Council, who spend millions of pounds annually on film- related projects, and persuaded them to seriously investigate the 'cinema access' issue.
They looked into the matter and after more than three years of campaigning for better access, and actually working with the film industry, his company was hired by the film industry to be the 'marketing arm' of cinema access. The main cinema companies and film distributors, as well as a few technology companies and the UK Film Council now sponsor his service.

Remote Worker Awards Highlighted At Launch of SHEplc
A group of enterprising business women gathered at one of Berkshire’s premier hotels on the 1st of May to join in the re-launch of SHEplc, a dynamic network of businesswomen.Mary Flavelle, founder of SHEplc, formed SHEplc in 2005,when she worked at the Chamber of Commerce. Hundreds of ladies have attended over the years and many have gone on to fantastic heights with their businesses, yet when Mary left the Chamber nearly three years ago the networking eventually events faded.
Mary’s belief and faith that one day she would own SHEplc came to pass when the Chamber handed it back to her with their blessing. Mary’s first guest speaker to launch the new and very exciting SHEplc, was Paula Wynne, founder of Remote Employment, Remote Employment, a job site specialising in flexible, remote and home working.
Paula was introduced as an Entrepreneur, Internet Female Hero, SEEDA Woman’s Ambassador, Businesswomen, Mum, Freelancer, Writer and PR Hound Dog!
Paula shared her journey of setting up Remote Employment soon after a shoulder operation left her with a dislocated collarbone and subsequent operations to reconstruct her shoulder with metal plates. Consumed with pain and discomfort as well as suffering from sleepless nights, Paula’s determination and persistence to succeed pulled her through.
During this very difficult time, Paula’s passion for the concept of remote working and home working launched the online website with lots of attention and Paula’s infectious enthusiasm has seen the company receive two business awards in a short space of time.
Paula invited all of Mary’s guests to enter The Remote Worker Awards, which aims to raise awareness for remote and home working as an alternative solution to redundancy and the traditional nine to five office routine.
The awards has nine different categories and award winners will walk away with a prestigious trophy and will enjoy up to £50k in prizes, including a Penthouse Garden Office worth £10k, a Home Based Franchise worth £15k, interior design, business starter kits, a mobile laptop and a fabulous luxury weekend at a von Essen Hotel.
Paula is used to talking to groups of women about being a PR Hound for their business along with other topics on marketing and business advice, and many of the SHEplc guests found her recent experience inspiring.
One such guest, Christine Chalklin, Astrologer and Life Coach, later thanked Paula for giving her business journey a ‘personal touch’. Christine has the fascinating task of giving chart readings to businesses who want a celestial map for navigating their business path.
Mary’s guests included Tessa Harris, editor of Berkshire Life, Carla Delaney, Editor of Business Monthly and Debra Aspinall, Editor of Vive Magazine. Mary said: “It was very exciting and exhilarating to launch my dream for SHEplc at Cliveden House. We had a wonderful group of ladies who enjoyed every minute of networking and sharing their business success with each other. We want to see more ladies joining us every month and share in the SHE experience!”
For more information about SHEplc and Mary’s fantastic business networking, get onto www.sheplc.com and get networking.
Or for more information or any other enquiry about working from home or working remotely, call 0844 800 8355 or browse www.remoteemployment.com. To have a chance to win one of the fabulous prizes, enter the Remote Worker Awards at www.remoteworkerawards.com.

How to set up a home office ...
Before you set up a work station at home, check out our Seven Top Tips on how to work from home:
Your Home Office
Ideally, you will have a spare room to create a home office. If not, a corner of another room, will be fine as long as you are not constantly distracted in the family fast lane. Set up your kitSet up your computer, files and phone to give you maximum comfort for long hours. Have enough plug points for PC, printer, phone, scanner, mobile charger, fax machine and answer phone. Even better get an all in once mod con to save on a jumble of cables and wires.
Pick your desk location
You should be able to see the door of the office from where you are sitting or at least more of your surroundings. Beware of facing the garden and the bird bath – too tempting to watch the world go by! A hard chair will give you backache so spend a little extra on a good one.
Working Hours
Working outside 'normal' working hours helps to balance your work and home life so don't feel guilty dashing off to take the lads to footie after school, as long as you get your work done. Catching up in the early morning or later in the evening works well, but also watch out for going OTT. Make sure you close down and walk away at some point or the family will go hungry.
Have a breather
No matter what kind of work you do or what home you do it in, you can go bonkers if you spend 24 hours a day at it. Get out, whenever you can, to clear your head and to see other people. Use lunch time as a good break to pop down to pick up groceries for dinner, step outside to feed the birds during your coffee break or walk the dog around the block to clear the cobwebs. This is also a great way to mull over a document or get inspiration for new ideas.
Keep in Touch
Have no fear that your social life at work comes to an end if you leave your office to work from home, in fact in some cases your relationship with your colleagues may improve. Email is instant but be careful of 'funnies' – they can eat up a huge chunk of time. Chat through business issues by phone and meet for a quick bite every now and then.
Goal scoring
Give yourself little goals and objectives and then reward yourself when they are complete. Make sure family and friends know your hours or days of working at home and stick to that. Don't be tempted to pop over for a coffee or cook a large meal. Give yourself this time as a reward for getting up early on a Monday to finish a long-winded report. Or if you score well with a new client take five to put your feet up before the school run. Whatever incentives work for you, use them to motivate yourself to balance your time around your other responsibilities.
