Job Alert: Buckingham Palace is hiring a six figure salary ‘royal travel agent’
The Queen is hiring a Royal Travel agent to add to her team at Buckingham Palace – and if that doesn’t sound sweet enough, wait until you hear what salary is on offer.
The job advertisement on Buckingham Palace’s official website says it’s a full time permanent position requiring 37 hours a week with an annual salary of £85,000.
Royal Travel agent duties include organising air travel for the 93-year-old Monarch as well as logistics for Her Majesty’s helicopter flights and the royal train.
While the Queen has retired from overseas trips, her children and grandchildren travel frequently on her behalf, so they could be your clients as well.
“The job is ‘Director’, so you’re in charge of a group that is planning and organising trips‘, Sunrise Royal Editor Rob Jobson explained.
“Logistically it can be a tough job because you’ve got a number of royals to deal with as well as the entourage that goes with them.”
“I think it comes with a bit of pressure.”
If travel isn’t your cup of tea, there are four other positions on offer at the Royal Household including a job for a housekeeping assistant at Windsor Castle and an IT role.
As for the travel agent gig – get your resume in quick because applications close next Friday.
