The Queen is hiring staff for Buckingham Palace

Jade Hayden

After all, who among us wouldn’t want to work for the living representation of 700 years of Irish oppression?

Ideal job, tbh.

If you’re desperate though, the Queen is hiring a kitchen porter for Buckingham Palace and you don’t even need previous experience to get it.

The job pays a basic enough £19,935.80 per annum, but there are a few perks as there always tend to be with Buckingham Palace jobs.

These include live-in accommodation, all meals provided, and you might get to catch a glimpse of Prince Philip as he hobbles by one day.

Maybe.

In order to qualify for this position, you need to be a team player, be very clean, and be willing to dress in fancy uniforms.

The job spec states:

“By maintaining the kitchen and clear-up areas you’ll ensure our chefs and assistants have all they need to deliver meals throughout the day. You’ll also on occasion assist with food preparation.

“And whether you’re based in Buckingham Palace or travelling to other locations, you’ll ensure all kitchens are presented to the same exceptional standard.”

But of course. Only the best for her majesty.

As stated, previous experience is not required for this job as training will be provided, but a basic understand of food hygiene is probably preferable.

You can learn more about, or even apply (!) for the role here. 

The vacancy closes next week.
