Liepāja Seeks New Orphan Court Chairman — Experience with Children Mandatory, Experience with Riga Officials Not Required
After 22 years in office, Taiga Ziemele is approaching retirement, but candidates should be prepared for the fact that working with children in Liepāja is as unpredictable as the weather.
Liepāja municipality has announced a competition for the position of orphan court chairman, as current director Taiga Ziemele has decided after 22 years of service that it's time to pass the reins to someone younger. Or perhaps she's simply tired of constantly running around Liepāja looking for solutions to family problems.
The competition requirements are quite strict: candidates must be at least 30 years old, meaning they've already experienced life's sweet and bitter sides. The salary of 2000 euros gross is quite good, especially considering that everything in Liepāja's market is fresher than in Riga and half the price — so the money will cover both quality products and nerve-calming medications.
Will the candidate be ready to work with children whose parents sometimes behave worse than their offspring? Will they be able to maintain an impeccable reputation in a city where everyone knows everyone else? And most importantly — will they manage not to be shocked when they discover how many family problems can exist in one small seaside town?
As locals say: 'Orphan court work isn't just about children — it's also about how you can live better in Liepāja on one salary than in Riga on two.' The competition continues, and perhaps we'll soon find out which brave soul will take on this responsible mission.
