Fancy a cleaning job with a difference, it pays £10 an hour but you do have to be naked! Both men and women can apply at the Southampton JobCentre Plus.

Staff will need to do washing, ironing and hoovering, in nothing but a pinny. Other cleaning jobs at the jobcentre pay £6 an hour, perhaps this is more of a summer job though!

Avon calling! The cosmetics company has launched a recruitment drive to find 1,000’s of new field sales reps across the UK. They were once called Avon Ladies, but that no longer applies as the company says five per cent of the 170,000 reps already working in the UK are men.

Reps are self-employed and can be any age over 18. They work at any level they choose - from those earning £1 for every £5 of products they sell to friends and families in their sparetime to becoming one of the top achievers. Some businesses have a turnover of £2million and these reps are invited to join the President’s Club with its extra incentives and perks such as invitations to gala dinners.

The NHS will introduce tough new employment checks for all staff from 1st April 2008.

Some six booklets will contain all the information you need to know in regard to what standards employers must meet to comply to both legislation and NHS policy. The six areas of pre-employment checking include verification of identity, right to work, registration and qualification, employment history and references, criminal records checks and occupational health checks.

It is estimated that respective HR depatments will find these new checks particularly tough (particularly on their time!) when it comes to the vast number of temporary staff and students that the NHS employs annually.
