The job description states that the successful applicant will receive a “competitive salary”, and similar Senior Sous Chef roles in London can pay around £37,000, according to TotalJobs.

King Charles is looking for someone who is “adept at planning and developing menus for a wide range of occasions, including fine dining and volume catering.”

The advert states: “This job is truly like no other.

“It’s delivering the next in a long line of magnificent plates.

“It’s inspiring the changes behind the traditions. 

“And it’s giving your all for your team as well as the Royal Family. 

“This is what makes working for the Royal Household exceptional.

“As Premier Sous Chef you’ll help to lead a team of talented professionals in the Royal Kitchens.”

The Premier Sous Chef will support the Head Chef and oversee day-to-day operations, from staff lunches to State Banquets.

And the job comes with perks – aside from living in a famous palace.

You’ll get 33 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays), a 15 per cent non-contributory pension scheme and meals on duty. 

It states: “The role also offers the option for single live-in accommodation with all meals provided (for which there is a salary adjustment) and free uniform. 

“We also offer a range of leave options to support your lifestyle choices, such as parental pay and leave and volunteering days, as well as benefits to support your physical and mental wellbeing like our onsite gym.”

The successful candidate will join a team of thirty who operate from six different residences.

The person will also work strategically with the Head Chef and Royal Chef to “drive change forward, reviving traditional dishes and encouraging new menus ideas.”

To apply you should be a “highly qualified and skilled chef”, and have “experience at a senior level from a fine dining or five star catering operation.”

It concludes: “Above all, you have the passion and innovation to help take the Royal Kitchen forward.”

So do you think you have what it takes?

You have until July 30 to apply on the Royal Household website.
