Job in Scotland pays £100,000 and you can choose when you work - but there's a catch

A job in Scotland could see successful applicants work over six-month periods that suit them and earn nearly £100,000 - but there's a catch.

The vacancy that has been listed is for an unnamed "world leader in the energy market" and is looking for someone to take on the role of an offshore rigger based in the North Sea, just off the coast of Aberdeen. A successful applicant would be paid a basic rate of £367 a day for 12-hour shifts on an oil rig.

Taking this daily rate into account, if a successful applicant took on two six-month contracts over two years - including a gap in between - they could earn around £95,420 overall.
