Job ads seeking naked ambition

A JOBCENTRE has posted an ad looking for women to strip for internet sex sites.

The Cardiff branch of Jobcentre Plus caused a stir after it advertised the £8-an-hour vacancy for girls over 18 willing to ‘perform on webcam for clients’, ‘indulge their fantasies’ and engage in ‘explicit sexual dialogue’.

But last night the Department for Work and Pensions insisted the ad – which also appeared on the job agency’s website nationwide – was well within the remit of the law.

Their spokesperson said they were legally obliged to carry adverts for legitimate work in the sex and personal services industry after a High Court ruling over a test case brought by the Ann Summers sex shop chain in 2003.

“We have safeguards in place to ensure customers are fully aware of the nature of these jobs,” he said.

The latest incident follows our revelation last month that job centres in Llandudno and Cardiff had been condemned for placing adverts recruiting people to work as £100-an-hour “escorts”.
