Most of the 22 jobs advertised on the Royal Households website are for temporary summer roles some of which coincide with the Queens Platinum Jubilee.
However, there are more specialised roles that are offering pretty hefty salaries for people with the right skills.
The Senior Gardener role is based at Windsor Castle and is responsible for maintaining the royal gardens.
The full-time, permanent role has a starting salary of 25,000.
