If you consider yourself a real 'foodie' and love travelling the world trying exotic new flavours then guess what? A company is looking to hire someone to do exactly that while paying them £50,000 per year for the pleasure.

Vibrant Vegan Co is looking for someone to find exciting little-known ingredients to make its dishes stand out, and they'll even cover the costs of flights and accommodation for the trips around Asia, South American and Eastern Europe.

Although the company produces vegan food, the brand doesn't expect the successful candidate to be vegan, as long as they can appreciate exciting new flavours.

"There are hundreds of ingredients and recipes across the world that haven't been presented to the UK consumer, so we hope our new recruit will be able to inspire some new and tasty recipes for our vegan ready meal offering," said Vibrant Vegan founder Iain Burke-Hamilton.

"I believe innovation is at the heart food, so I want someone with an innovative and creative mind to help us build on our current recipes."

The role, which could require the successful candidate to be away from home for up to four months at a time, will include visits to India, China, Turkey, Chile, Mexico and Japan to begin with.

Vibrant Vegan Co expects 35 hours of work each week, with flexible working patterns available. The role also includes full sick pay and 28 days holiday in addition to the £50,000 annual wage.

The company is looking for someone who has at least three years working as a chef, before candidates are interviewed and given in-house taste tests to ensure their palette is 'up to scratch.'

Burke-Hamilton continued: "I don't think we've ever recruited for a job this exciting before. This is a very unique and rewarding job but despite its extensive perks we acknowledge it's also very demanding."
