The successful candidate will have to keep the prehistoric site running smoothly and present a professional appearance with the Druids and new-agers who regularly visit the landmark.

Mysterious and mystical, Stonehenge has been used to mark the progress of the sun since about 3,000 B.C. Its exact original purpose is unknown but it has become a major tourist attraction that annually draws about 1 million visitors and is manned by a staff of 180 employees and volunteers. The new on-site GM job pays 65,000 pounds ($99,000) a year and only the "brightest and the best" candidates need apply, English Heritage said.
