The new recruit will live at the palace
Any takers? The Queen is looking to hire a new gardener at Buckingham Palace, to help keep the weeds and shrubbery at the famous royal residence in pristine condition. The lucky new green-fingered employee will work five days a week, and will be paid between £23,000 and £25,000.
The job listing states: "It's caring for the gardens that thousands will admire. It's taking every opportunity to make your mark. And it's the pride in joining a team at the heart of a world famous institution."This is what makes working for the Royal Household exceptional. The Gardens and Grounds team at The Royal Household maintain and care for gardens that are seen by thousands of visitors and guests every year.
It continues: "From regular mowing and edging, to raking and re-seeding, you'll also maintain the shrub, herbaceous and rose borders whilst monitoring and nurturing the health of plants, and young trees. Helping to shape the future of the gardens, you'll plant new shrubbery, bulbs and seasonal flower displays, ensuring that they continue to provide a spectacular setting for a historic building.
Applicants need a "passion for horticulture" plus experience and a Horticulture NVQ 2 qualification.", and the vacancy is open until Sunday July 10. Additionally, last month, the Queen shared a job advert for someone to look after the horses that pull the Royal ceremonial carriages.
