The Queen is hiring a personal assistant at Buckingham Palace – but you’ve only got two days to apply
IF YOU'VE ever fancied working for the royal household - and specifically, the Queen - now is your chance.
Her Maj is hiring a personal assistant, but if you fancy the role you'd better cancel all weekend plans, because applications close in two days.
The full-time role will be based at Buckingham Palace and travel will also be required.
According to the job description, you'll provide support to the Senior Manager, co-ordinate royal diaries, meetings and appointments as well as organising travel and managing correspondence.
You'll also help with the co-ordination of the official royal programme, including engagements and visits, formal events and parties.
Fast-paced and high profile, the job comes with a lot of responsibilities and the palace is looking for someone who is already a "highly experienced PA".
"You'll have superb interpersonal and communication skills, and will be at ease working as part of a team, and liaising with people at all levels," they explain.
"With good judgement, sensitivity and a willingness to help others, you'll quickly become a trusted and indispensable member of the team.
"Confident using a range of IT packages, along with excellent drafting skills and attention to detail, you'll be capable of producing a range of papers, presentations, correspondence and reports.
"Having had extensive experience of diary management, you'll be capable of pre-empting situations, and also be confident to make informed decisions on the back of this.
"With a proactive approach, you'll work efficiently with initiative and minimal direction, remaining calm and organised even when under pressure."
In return, you'll receive a "competitive salary" and a benefits package.
If this sounds like you, Buckingham Palace is recruiting two personal assistant positions - one is permanent, while the other is a fixed-term maternity cover.
