Taxpayer-funded staff at the Future Generations Commissioner’s office in Wales also get a “cheerleader” to support them.

Boss Sophie Howe — on £95,000 a year and with a £1.5million budget — previously appointed Rufus Mufasa as “poet in residence”.

A recent job ad said: “We trust you to decide where and how best you’d like to work. We have a six-hour working day aspiration.”

It said perks included a well­being gift and eco-friendly phone.

The public body’s motto is “love work, get a life”.
