“Aiming for the highest standards, you’ll clean and care for interiors and items, from rest rooms, carpets and furniture, to historic vases and irreplaceable paintings,” it states.
“And, in an environment where development and training is commonplace, you’ll be able to grow your skills within your role.”
You’ll work in all areas of the Palace, including the public visitor route, staff offices and State rooms, ensuring that they’re presented to their best for colleagues, visitors and, of course, the Royal Family.”
The palace attracts around 250,000 visitors a year.
It was largely built between 1671 and 1678 on the instruction of King Charles II, but has been home for the royal family since the 15th century.
