The King is seeking a new Housekeeping Assistant to work at Buckingham Palace. The successful candidate will not only enjoy the rare privilege of working at the most iconic royal residence, but will also be afforded the unique opportunity to live within the iconic walls of the Palace.
The position, a permanent role within the Royal Household, calls for a candidate who is both dedicated and meticulous in maintaining the immaculate grandeur of the Palace’s historic interiors. From the state rooms to the private guest suites, the role demands an eye for detail and a commitment to preserving the regal atmosphere of the residence.
The advert, posted earlier this week, specifies that the successful applicant will have the opportunity to work behind the scenes at major royal events, including state banquets, official ceremonies, and intimate royal gatherings. The duties range from preparing rooms for visitors to performing specialised care for fine linens and priceless artworks.
The position comes with full live-in accommodation, and a range of benefits, including a pension contribution of 15%. The role is also likely to offer an extraordinary level of exposure to the workings of the Royal Household, a rarefied environment steeped in centuries of tradition.
Those applying for the position should possess previous experience in hospitality, a strong work ethic, and the flexibility to travel between royal estates, including Balmoral and Sandringham. The position’s live-in nature, which also requires adaptability to the rhythms of royal life, makes this a unique career opportunity.
Applications are open until 27th July – details of how to apply can be viewed by clicking here.
