‘Lucky’ candidate will be paid £3,600 to binge watch Love Island

If you think you’ve been watching a little too much Love Island this summer, fear not! Because now, you could potentially get paid to do so. 

Are you up to speed with all of the gossip from inside the villa? Do you know who’s making moves with who? Is your brain wired to recognise the unmistakable cry of ‘I’ve got a text’?

If all of the above sounds like a little bit of you, this new job opportunity could be right up your alley.

The online fandom community website, Fandomspot.com is on the hunt for a die-hard fan of the ITV2 series to fill their vacancy for ‘Love Island Investigator and Editor,’ a role that will require a lot of Love Island binge-watching and content creating.

And, if that wasn’t enough, the successful candidate will be paid a whopping £3,600 for their troubles. 

The job description on the website reads: “Are you a Love Island super fan? Well, we’ve got the job for you. We’re excited to announce that we’re looking for FandomSpot.com’s first ‘Love Island Investigator and Editor’ to write about all things that fans might want to know about the hit reality show.”

The successful candidate will be expected to work for around three hours per day to watch the show, follow any social media mentions and investigate any backlash following each episode, as well as consume all relevant Love Island news and blogs in order to write up suitable content.

And those with a lack of writing experience need not worry – unlike other writing roles, the job will be selecting the candidate based on their knowledge of what Love Island fans and viewers will want to be reading about, so previous experience and qualifications aren’t essential.

Though the application does stress that applicants must be over the age of eighteen and have ‘great written English skills.’

Strong writing, digital literacy and investigative skills are also a bonus, as well as social media knowledge and, additionally, candidates are required to have a strong enough internet connection to upload their work and to be able to binge watch the show live.

Because the role will only be available while Love Island is on air (obviously), the successful candidate will be paid a one-off payment of £3,599. There will also be the possibility of roles for future seasons of the show and for similar reality shows.

Think you’re up for the role? Applications close on Thursday, August 12th, and you can apply here. Good luck!
