Island with ZERO POPULATION looking for two people to run coffee shop… but there’s a catch

An isle with a population of zero is looking for two people to run a coffee shop… but there is a catch.

Great Blasket Island is hiring a pair of caretakers to live there this summer.

But, despite it having no residents, there will be a lot of customers to serve.

Because the isle off the coast of Dunquin, near Dingle, Ireland, does attract 40,000 holidaymakers a year.

Great Blasket Island, is located off the Dingle Peninsula and is the largest of the Blasket Islands.

The island is seeking a couple to run the show, taking over running the coffee shop and holiday cottages for six whole months.

From 1 April to 1 October, they will be paid a wage to be in charge.

But despite the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to stay on a remote Irish island, hard and strenuous labour will have to be completed.

Tasks including coffee shop prep, cleaning each holiday house and checking in guests, will need to be completed to a high standard daily.

And applicants might not even manage to grab a day off for weeks at a time, it is all determined by the weather.

All job hopeful’s rent will be included for the duration of their post on the island.

In terms of living quarters and conditions, they’ll be sharing the main bedroom above the coffee shop.

They’ll have to use the shop’s kitchen and toilets as their very own, with a stove available to light up your evenings.

Laundry will be collected and transported to the mainland where it will be washed.

They don’t need to fear as food shops will also be delivered daily.

In the busy summer months of June, July and August they may also be sharing the upstairs.

Volunteer helpers will sleep in the second bedroom upstairs too, so applicants will have some other company for the long evenings, as reported by What’s The Jam.

However, if they want to keep clean and enjoy the occasional evening tipple, they’ll have to come readily prepared as these items will not be included in the food shops.

The island is a ‘Special Area of Conservation’, is four miles long and has over 1,1000 acres to explore.

It has been uninhabited since 1953 and is known for being one of the most remote Irish-speaking areas of Corca Dhuibhne.
