Fancy a job as a naked cleaner?
WANTED - domestic help. Decent pay.
Uniform definitely not included.
It is the job advert for those with saucy qualifications
who are looking for a complete change in
career.
The advert for a nude cleaner is one you
would expect to see in a top shelf magazine or
an x-rated Internet site but not at the local job
centre.
However, the post of naked domestic help
was one of the positions Southampton
Jobcentre Plus was offering the city's unemployed.
In addition it gave them the e-mail address of
gay porn site Men's Assets where they were told to
send information outlining
their credentials.
In its advert the company -
called Knobs 'n' Knockers -
stated it was looking for
applicants of either sex to
make washing-up and ironing
more erotic for its punters
in the South East.
The advert told hopeful
candidates: "Required for
household cleaning duties in
the nude. Pinny provided.
Must have pleasant nature."
The position was to pay £10
per hour compared with £6 offered by companies
hoping to employ fully clothed cleaners.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman
claimed it could not legally refuse to carry
the adverts.
She said: "Jobcentre Plus has a duty to advertise
any legal job. Legal vacancies within the adult industry
come within this, a requirement which was confirmed
in a legal test case brought by the Ann
Summers company in 2003.
"The High Court overturned Jobcentre Plus's policy
which did not accept certain types of adverts connected
with the sex and personal services industries."
She added: "We have safeguards in place to ensure
customers are fully aware of the nature of these
jobs."
One of the first people to spot the unusual advert
was Derek Burrows of Monks Way, Swaythling. He
said: "I thought this was a joke."

One way to ensure honest staff. Nowhere to hide the family jewels.

What about doing the ironing?
Surely Health & Safety will be looked at?
Also- this nerd is hardly a good advert for the service anyway.
£10 an hour? lol I bet the company skims off on top

Sounds like a good job, pays better than driving moaning passengers about in congested streets.
And although CHEEKY, could be fun..
I'm game

I work as a nude model, and have done a bit as a nude cleaner, and a nude waiter for a ladie's party.
It's just some good harmless fun to brighten up the day/evening.
Best job in the world!
I can often be found on Gumtree.
