If the pandemic has made you yearn for a new career and lifestyle outside of the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh, then you might want to listen up.

Searching for a couple to help them out, a new job has been advertised for a pair to move up to the Scottish countryside and help out on an estate.

Located in Perthshire, the role is looking for a pair to join them at their family home and stay for a few years, taking on a few different tasks.

Hoping to build a close relationship with the couple, the owners would be looking for the pair to assist with gardening, maintenance and some joinery skills.

As well as needing a valid driving license, the couple would also help out with laundry, ironing and cooking, as well as keeping their antique well maintained.

In return, the successful applicants would be earning a £40,000 per year salary between the two of them.

Working around 40 hours each week, the couple would also be entitled to live for free in the "gardener's cottage", which is currently undergoing a full renovation.

The cottage is described as having three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with council tax and water bills being covered by the owners of the house.

The role would also only be from Monday-Friday, allowing the couple to have their weekends off.
