SIX months in the sun is on offer for young people from East Lancashire - but there is catch!

EuroSites, owned by Rossendale-based Airtours, is currently recruiting representatives to work at its resorts across Europe. But the firm warns it won't be all sun, sea and sand.

"Believe me it is not easy," said Matthew Cheetham, EuroSites managing director. New recruits must attend a week-long training course before being allocated a job at one of the sites.

People aged over 19, or over 21 if they want to work as a children's representative, are invited to apply for one of the 250 posts available. Eurosites prefer representatives to have a foreign language and be able to work from March to October.
