Remote islands in the UK and Ireland are now seeking workers for seasonal and permanent jobs.
Ireland’s Great Blasket Island needs two people for the tourist season. They will run a café and other visitor services.
The Blasket Islands have had no permanent residents since 1953. Boats are the only way to reach them, and trips depend on the weather. Workers must accept isolation, no shops and limited electricity and running water.
