It's the satisfaction of helping deliver an impressive service

It’s feeling proud of your contribution, and it’s working with a shared and unique purpose. This is what makes working for the Royal Household so different.

In this role, you’ll join a committed Kitchen team who prepare and serve food to the very highest standards.

You’ll maintain the kitchen environment to ensure our chefs have all they need to deliver meals throughout the day. You’ll clean equipment, surfaces, refrigeration and utensils ready for use, as well as assist when required with basic food preparation.

The fast-paced environment will be challenging, but you’ll value being part of a professional catering team.

And working at other Royal residences throughout the year, you’ll provide an excellent service every day.

Experience in a similar role would be an advantage, however this isn’t necessary, as our training will provide you with all the skills you need.

What’s more important is that you enjoy working in a team. You’re happy to get involved, use initiative and work with your colleagues to achieve a smooth daily service.

You take care and pride in your work, and so aim to deliver great results in all that you do. A good understanding of food hygiene and safety would also be beneficial, but it’s not necessary as we’ll organise training for you.

Above all, you're keen to develop your skills and gain experience within an exceptional team environment.

In return, as this is a live-in role, you’ll be rewarded with a benefits package that includes:

  • Subsidised accommodation
  • All meals 
  • 33 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
  • A 15% employer contribution pension scheme
  • A range of training and development opportunities
