Open to all ages right across the UK, the budget supermarket says the only criteria for this “egg-stra special role” is that applicants have a love for sweet treats, taste buds looking to be tantalised, and an appreciation for new and exciting flavours.

If you fancy sticking an application in, you’ll just need to create a short one-minute audition video explaining why they should be chosen for the world’s sweetest job, and then email it across to aldichiefeggofficer@clarioncomms.co.uk.
It’ll also help your chances if you include some examples of your favourite Aldi chocolate too, as well as any “sweet tales” that may make you pip others to the post.
Applications close on 15 March, and successful applicants will receive their products to sample just a few days after that.
