Buckingham Palace has a number of job vacancies, one of which requires no previous experience. Several of the roles are live-in, meaning successful candidates will move into Royal residences.
The positions also come with “a generous benefits package designed to support your wellbeing and life priorities”.
The Kitchen Porter role has a deadline of Sunday, September 28, with work commencing in October 2025 on a fixed two-year contract. It’s a full-time role involving up to 45 hours per week, Monday to Sunday, although employees only work five days within any seven-day period.
While having experience “in a similar role would be an advantage”, it’s not essential as thorough on-site training will be given. Other desirable attributes include taking pride in one’s work, enjoying being part of a team, being “happy to get involved”, and being “keen to develop your skills and gain experience within an exceptional team environment”.
The job advert does not specify a salary, but describes it as being “competitive plus benefits”. Adjustments to the salary will be made to account for provided accommodation and meals.
As stated on the official Royal website: “We work hard to ensure our salaries are reflective of the market median, and we offer a competitive reward package to all employees. We review basic pay rates each year, and offer performance rewards to recognise your achievements.”
