Now, the only issh to nab this job is that you need to enter a competition to win it with Virgin Holidays. Being such a sought-after gig, they believe this is the best way to give everyone a fair chance.

So, what must you do to land the role?

  • Willing to commute by boat or paddle board, even when the weather is a little too beautiful to go to work
  • Eager to chat to locals and tourists alike and get to know them over a cool bottle of local beer
  • Manage the music playlist to ensure chilled beats are playing at all times
  • Throw the occasional fish to the resident pelicans, who gave the bar its name
  • Welcome passing boats looking for a refreshment with a smile
  • Able to multitask – it can be tricky to hand out beer and appreciate the glistening turquoise water at the same time

Sounds like you?

Well then, may I direct you here to apply and wish you all the luck in the world.

Joe Thompson, Managing Director of Virgin Holidays spoke about the vacancy saying:

“We think the Caribbean is your playground – filled with so much fun and beauty to explore, from the white beach sands to the vibrant culture. We have sent millions of British holiday-makers to explore this idyllic part of the world over the last few decades, but never like this. It’s an opportunity to truly immerse yourself in the Jamaican culture – a once in a lifetime experience.”

Cheers to that.
