Orford Ness: 'Rare chance' to work on former Cold War site

A "rare chance" to become the sole ferry operator for a former nuclear weapons testing site has become available.

Orford Ness, a spit located just off the Suffolk coast, was used as a secret military test site during the Cold War.

It is now a National Trust coastal nature reserve with buildings people can visit.

The ferry operator role would involve operating the ferry, a powerboat and a rowing boat across the River Ore.

Applications for the part-time role, which pays just over £10,000, close on 27 March and the successful applicant will start work in April when Orford Ness reopens to visitors for the season.
