Ever fancied trading in your work suit and brogues for body armour and gladiator sandals? And marching around the streets of Chester shouting 'sin, dex, sin' – but getting paid for it?

Well, you're in luck as a vacancy with a difference has just come on to the job market.

But it's not for work-shy slackers, so divas need not apply for this unique opportunity at Dewa Roman Experience.

The family-run attraction has been running tours showcasing the city's incredible heritage and archaeological remains since 1993.

Manager Michael Lancaster explained that the available position of Roman soldier tour guide is a 'great' job, but physically demanding due to the heavy armour and equipment.

"We're looking for someone with a better than average background in history and with a positive attitude towards work in general," he said.

"Someone who is willing and able to roll their sleeves up – come storms or snow, we're out there in all weather."

Hours of employment will vary between 9am and 5pm over seven days, with a minimum of 16 hours per week.

Full training will be given to the successful candidate.
