I forgot to add below there's Mainline bait and munga thrown in as well
it's for the rest of the season until October with possibility of full time employment if it works out.
I have seen one of the recent ex bailiffs (well I'm pretty sure it is) he's a dead ringer if not bailiffing on another lake in France who had been there sometime and would of only left recently, it was on some recent social media post so obviously they need to replace him, on another note I see yesterday the Korda podcasts are returning soon I wonder who they've replaced the last guy with.

Must admit I thought as I first clicked on this that it was for a job on a cruise liner.

It's perfectly legal for a rich family in Twickenham to pay an Au Pair absolute buttons if they are providing food and accomodation, because it's classed as subs, or "pocket money" as the toffs have called it. People who work here illegally in car washes earn more than you will cooking 15 bacon sandwiches at 6am. In this case, the £250 of tackle is merely another way to drive wages down even further.
I know someone who went to bailiff over there, Left a very secure job here to live in a caravan on site. I think he lasted less than three months.
You'll be a dogs body 24/7, and when you get fed up with it, don't expect them to pay a week's wages on top for your trip home.

thinking about it now. It's probably just a way of getting around french employment law. I'd imagine with us no longer being part of the EU. To work in most European countrys now youd need a work visa.
But I suppose if your young and only got your cock to keep it would be an experience you shouldn't really turn down. And as they say if your keen on working in the industry it would be a foot in the door.

The laugh is the taxman can read his basic cash in hand offer.
Why not just invite him round to go through your accounts. 😂😂😂😂

Can't be legal surely?
I know bailiffs are not on great money but minimum wage should be at least paid.
Why would anyone want £250 a week in terminal tackle?

I think this is probably aimed at a young person who is super keen with their fishing and wants the experience. If I was 18 and just out of education then free travel to Gigantica, free tackle and food each week, free board and free fishing on a lake that I could never have afforded in return for menial daily work would have suited me just fine.
Learn a thing or two from more experienced anglers, mess about in boats, fix swims, wash up and clean the lavs. Would have been all good with me. At that age I spent a summer stuffing envelopes where the only pleasure was a funny name every now and then. Got paid a lot less than £250 (inflation allowed for!) and still spent it on tackle, beer and bait anyway.
It's not a career move or a job to support a family or pay a mortgage, but I don't think you can expect that. It will suit the right person though and I would have been all over it 20 years ago!
Can you imagine how much your angling would have moved on at 18 after a summer/year full time at a lake like Gigantica? Then the possibility of a job in the UK with a multi million pound tackle firm.

It's legal because the wages are paid in "free" food, "free" lodging and £250 of terminal tackle, which in reality costs the company a third of that, or it all gets deducted out of their base rate.
As I said, it's no different to the Ukrainians who are over here working in the poly tunnels picking strawberries for the toffs at Wimbledon, who pay their Spanish house slave less than they earn at an Albanian car wash

On the outset i do I agree, it does seem like an opportunity for someone young, but if you're DF is that what you really want bailiffing your waters?? Personally I'd want someone with a bit of experience, the sort who wont be put off if "things need sorting". I'd imagine there are plenty of circumstances that could arise which maybe a younger inexperienced bailiff could shy away from, whereas an older person might be able to handle it well

To be honest I don't have social media so haven't read the full advert. Is the job offer for a head bailiff or a helper? The former deserves more than a gap year agreement. The latter is an opportunity to help out and learn. A well fed apprenticeship if you like.

If the Mrs would let me, I'd apply
