Talk about career change… An estate agent from Shepton Mallet has won a very curious job: she’s going to be a witch.

She beat over 300 other applicants to win the lucrative £50,000 a year job at the tourist attraction Wookey Hole in Somerset.

Apparently in the role she snagged with her ‘witchy charisma’, she’ll be teaching people magic and witchcraft. Of course, she’ll also have to spend a lot of time cackling, trying to fly on a broomstick, and talking to her black cat. A (fairy-tale) world from showing people around a semi-detached.

But Cara Calamity (great name, no?) has pointed out that being an estate agent probably put her in pretty good stead for the role: “I think it’s a natural progression. You need to perform a little bit of magic to sell houses in the current market.”

She might be onto something with that kind of thinking.

You can see Cara Calamity in her witchy role at Wookey Hole – let us know if you go!
