Dog inspector vacancy opens in Norfolk
Dog asleep
"We're calling all canines with a taste for the good life to get in touch."
Humans need not apply

A tourist information centre in North Norfolk is advertising for a new recruit - but only canines may apply!

North Norfolk sweeps the board annually at The Kennel Club's 'Be Dog Friendly' awards. Now, as part of Visit North Norfolk's drive to take its dog-friendly credentials more seriously, the team are on the hunt for a dog inspector of the four-legged variety.

In October, Visit North Norfolk will officially launch the area as 'Dogs' Own' County,' with a host of treats for dogs on the agenda.

It will also be creating a dog-friendly certification scheme, whereby businesses wanting an official dog-friendly rating will need to pass the inspection criteria.

To make this judgement call, the team at Visit North Norfolk felt that a dog would be best qualified. Lucy Downing explains:

"Be it a B&B, hotel, visitor attrition or shop, the only way we're going to be able to test whether they really welcome dogs, rather than just saying they do, is by having a dog check them out. So we're calling all canines with a taste for the good life to get in touch."

The team are looking for a pooch with a friendly temperament, plenty of patience and a nose for detail.

The successful applicant will get their very own desk in the office, a year's supply of dog biscuits and a section on the Visit North Norfolk website.

To apply for the role, doggy applicants should send their CV and a personal statement to info@visitnorthnorfolk.com by August 31, 2015.
