A recruitment company has revealed Brits can earn £45 an hour by becoming a professional Cadbury Crème Egg Hunter.

Online jobs website Bark has launched a new service for people desperate to get their hands on a rare egg - in a bid to win the £10,000 cash prize.

Professional players will be required to travel to associated supermarkets and buy the chocolates in order to find a prize-winning white chocolate Crème Egg.

Customers will be asked specific questions about how they’d like their Cadbury Crème Egg Hunter to carry out the work, such as the number of eggs they’d like them to buy, which shops to visit and what areas of the UK they’d like covered, as well as a number of other questions relating to the service.

Members of the public can sign up as pro Cadbury Crème Egg Hunter on the Bark.com website here.

As well as the hourly rate, which includes the cost of 8 boxes of eggs, and travel expenses, there is an option for pro Hunters and customers to agree bonuses should prizes be won (

Those who sign up to be a Pro Cadbury Crème Egg Hunter will have to provide a photo ID, be subject to a full background check, and be willing to travel to several supermarkets either in their local area or around the UK.

Bark also recommends a contract is written up between the customer and Hunter to agree on the transfer of prizes and terms.

As well as the hourly rate, which includes the cost of eight boxes of eggs, and travel expenses, there is an option for pro Hunters and customers to agree bonuses should prizes be won.

Shops that are selling the white chocolate eggs include Asda, Morrisons, Tesco, Co-op, Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, One Stop shops and some independent retailers.

The Cadbury White Crème Egg hunt end’s on April 21 at 11.59pm and claims must be made before May 21.

Kai Feller, co-founder of Bark.com, said: “The McDonald’s Monopoly Player service was a massive hit last year and we think this service could do equally as well. This is the second year Cadbury has launched the white chocolate Crème Egg hunt and thousands of people across the UK are understandably eager to find a white chocolate Crème Egg and a high value prize. However, some people just don’t have the time to be constantly buying eggs from a selection of supermarkets across the country – and that’s why we’ve launched this service.

“We already have professional Cadbury Crème Egg Hunters signed up on site, however demand is high, so we need more hunters to offer the service.”
