    Reaching over half a million viewers each day, Meanwhile in Ireland covers everything from Irish pop culture and bizarre news to comedy, travel and satire. 

    Launched in 2014, the platform has grown to become one of Ireland’s most popular platforms for viral videos, parodies, and general Irish craic. With a thriving team of Irish writers at its helm, this is an excellent opportunity for a budding critic to join a young and dynamic team.

    Working for an ever-growing media platform, the candidate will contribute to one of Ireland’s most popular websites, on one of Ireland’s most beloved subjects: Father Ted.

    Father Ted is an iconic Irish TV series following the lives of three priests and their housekeeper on the fictional Craggy Island, off the coast of Ireland. The show, which ran from 1995-1998, produced 25 episodes over three series. 

    Craggy Island, something familiar to the Father Ted TV Show critic.

    This hands-on role is a dream job for those with a love and knowledge for TV, Irish culture, and especially, Father Ted. It is preferable for someone with a background as a critic; although this is not a requirement.

    The chosen candidate can be located in any county across the globe. During the term of employment, they will work closely with the website Editor and Culture Writers to develop insightful and fresh content on the subject of Father Ted.

    Conducting concise research, the candidate will be responsible for watching, critiquing and ranking every episode of the hit sitcom in order, from best to worst. 

    As one of Ireland’s leading commentators on culture, we aim to offer the most intriguing and insightful content – and our Father Ted articles are no different. On completion of this contract, the Father Ted TV Show Critic’s findings will be transformed into the ultimate go-to guide to Father Ted, ranking each episode from best to worst.

    Please note: The Father Ted TV Show Critic’s findings will be referenced in the guide but the guide will be written by one of Meanwhile in Ireland’s Writers. So don’t worry, writing experience is not necessary.

    Duties include:

    • Short-term temporary contract
    • Expected hours: 4-6 per week
    • Term: three weeks from the start date
    • Watch and review all Father Ted episodes
    • The research will include detailed notes on each episode of the series, ranking them accordingly

    • Self-confessed Father Ted fanatic
    • Analytical and observant 
    • Fluency in spoken and written English
    • Confident working remotely to deadlines

    • Must be 16 or older
    • Critic experience (preferable)

    Benefits:

    • Pay: €11/£9.52 per hour
    • This is a dream job; a once in a lifetime role which is short but unique

    • Join a thriving team with an excellent culture

    The Process:

    • Closing date is 8th June 2020
    • Interviews start 15th June 2020 (aiming for an early July 2020 start date)
