The company, which supplies hand-made desserts to some of the UK’s largest supermarkets, is seeking a new recruit to help develop a range of new and exciting recipes.

The vacancy, posted on LinkedIn, will grant one lucky applicant the chance to taste test a variety of puddings over a period of three months.

And if the role didn't sound sweet enough, the company will pay the lucky candidate quite generously for their time, offering £15 per hour - nearly double the minimum wage.

Among its current range of desserts are flavours including molten chocolate fudge pudding, salted caramel and chocolate ganache, and vanilla cheesecake, so a sweet tooth is essential.

As an official pudding taster it will be your responsibility to provide feedback on the desserts to ensure they are up to scratch, giving an honest opinion on the flavour, appearance and texture.

The lucky candidate will also receive an exclusive preview of new recipes that are in development to enjoy at home, where they can be indulged in at your own time and pace.

To be successful, the job specification states the ideal candidate must meet the following requirements:

Have a clear passion for puddings in all shapes, sizes and flavoursHave an eagerness to try all of the products - whether to continuously improve the puddings already on supermarket shelves, or try new products that are in the development phaseBe honest when it comes to giving an opinion
