No, not that kind of remote work, sitting in front of a computer all day or spending time in Zoom meetings. This job is really remote, working and living on an island that’s only reachable by boat or at low tide.
St Aubyn Estates, which runs St Michael’s Mount, just off the coast of Cornwall, is advertising for a new steward for the castle. The job requires a variety of skills, including cleaning, researching, developing displays and managing the public. The successful candidate is expected to live in the castle at least five nights a week and not to get seasick traveling to the mainland.
The current steward told BBC that “The best thing about living here is having a sea view from every window. The worst thing is not being able to get a pizza delivered to your door.”
