On top of caring for the horses, you’ll also be charged with keeping the stables in tip top condition and looking after the saddlery and harnesses.

The desired candidate must “feel inspired to deliver to the highest standards, helping to present ceremonial activities that are enjoyed by millions.

‘Knowing that your horses are ready to perform on the world stage,’ it said.

‘You’ll also have the opportunity to play a part in the ceremonial events themselves, assisting the coachmen with riding and driving the horses on the day.’

The palace is looking for someone with a passion for equine, and you will need to be a competent rider and experience of driving a carriage is desired.

There is a ‘comprehensive’ benefits package, including 33 days holiday and a 15 per cent employer contribution pension scheme. Meals are also provided.
