Saudi Arabia advertises for eight new executioners to carry out public beheadings

It’s one of the most gruesome jobs imaginable, with low pay and no special qualifications required.

And Saudi Arabia is now advertising for eight new executioners, recruiting extra staff to carry out an increasing number of death sentences - usually done by public beheading.
The main role is ‘executing a judgement of death’ - but workers must also perform amputations on those convicted of lesser offences, according to the advert posted on the civil service jobs portal.
