Jermain Defoe seeks personal assistant to 'grow global brand' ... and stock fridge

Do you enjoy grocery shopping, watering plants, and managing a daily diary? If so, Jermain Defoe has just the career opportunity you're looking for.

The Sunderland striker is seeking a "highly experienced" personal assistant, posting an advertisement for a position that will pay between £50,000 and £60,000 per year.

The former Tottenham attacker is looking for someone who can help "create a global brand for the Jermain Defoe name, growing his online database on his website, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking platforms."

You'll even get to produce and manage Defoe's iPhone app. Sounds great, right?

There is, however, the small matter of some other less glamorous responsibilities. As outlined in the "errands" section of the job posting, the successful candidate will be responsible for the following:

Organise all Jermain’s personal needs i.e. drycleaners, gardeners, house refurbishments, sourcing interior designers and everyday task etc.

Regularly checking the home when Jermain is away, making sure all is in place for his return i.e. fridge is stocked and plants watered and house is clean.

Select and organise wardrobe with specific designers for special events/appearances i.e. Oswald boateng, Harrods, ZAP etc

Did we mention you would need to be on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Still interested?

No word yet on whether any Toronto FC supporters have applied for the position.
