One of the most bizarre job vacancies has gone on the market, with the successful applicant set to spend all day smelling poo.
The hunt for the world's first poommelier is underway, with a £1,500 grant offered to those who undergo the training needed to figure out all you need to know about human poo.
Nutrition brand Feel Complete has launched the search in a bid to break the poo taboo and help people take control of their gut health.

The brand is looking for up to five people to take part in its poommelier training – which you can apply for here– so they can analyse all aspects of digestive health and nutrition.
But just one person will have the right nose for the job and be given given the role as the world’s first poommelier at Feel Complete.
Aspiring poommeliers must be aged 21 and over, available to commit to a strict training schedule, and have an excellent eye for detail.
Lead nutritionist at Feel Complete Hannah Macey said: “Nobody’s poo smells good, but particularly foul-smelling poos may also be a sign of other health problems.
“An imbalance of your gut bacteria, known as dysbiosis, may result in more methane gas being produced by your gut, which may be detectable either as unpleasant smelling wind or poo.
“Certain food intolerances such as lactose intolerance, certain gut infections, or inflammatory bowel disease may also result in extremely bad smelling stools.

“If you have any changes in your bowel movements it’s important to see a GP or gut health expert.”
The term poommelier is a play on a similar role in the wine world where the job title is known as a sommelier.
Aaron Providence, founder and CEO of Feel Complete added: “It's all about breaking down that poo taboo.
“In the UK in particular it’s something people avoid talking about, often out of embarrassment, but we know that our bowel habits and stools provide an invaluable window to our health, which makes knowing the sights to look out for very important. In a perfect world, we’d all be our own Poommeliers.”
