Looking for work? Enjoy driving expensive cars? If so, we think we've found the perfect job for you.

The Queen is looking for a new chauffeur and the only qualification you need to apply for the post is a full clean UK driving licence.

Candidates must also have 'clear communication skills' and 'an ability to deploy tact and diplomacy when necessary'.

The job pays £23,000 which doesn't seem a lot, especially when the successful applicant will be expected to work a 48 hour week; however, accommodation is included and we can't imagine that it's too shabby either.

Professional driving experience is an advantage and the successful applicant will also be expected to assist in the maintenance of Her Maj's motors.

Applications close on the 31st August, so if you fancy applying you'll have to be quick.
