The Royal Family<\/a> is looking for a top security advisor who can help protect Buckingham Palace<\/a> and other royal residences from terrorism.<\/p>\n The role will involve many serious responsibilities, including being the go-to expert on the Terrorism Protection of Premises Bill, liaising with the Home Office and police, undertaking security assessments of a portfolio of sites, and representing the royal household on security matters at high-profile meetings.<\/p>\n The right candidate will have “practical knowledge of national and international security threats, with proven experience applying physical and technical security measures in sensitive or high-security environments,” the job advertisement explains. It comes a week after a terrorist attack took place at a Manchester Synagogue, and the terror threat level for the UK remains “substantial”.<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: Prince Harry makes new bid to have UK security funded by taxpayers reinstated<\/a>READ MORE: Prince William joins King Charles for rare joint outing as he makes major announcement<\/a>READ MORE: Prince William joins King Charles for rare joint outing as he makes major announcement<\/a> There are five terrorism threat levels in the UK, which indicate how likely an attack is to take place at any given time.<\/p>\n The current threat level, “substantial,” means that “an attack is likely” and is the third highest in the range.<\/p>\n The successful candidate for the royal household security advisor role would be paid \u00a370,000 and have the option of hybrid working over the course of the two-year fixed contract, which will run from November 2025 until November 2027.<\/p>\n The right person for the role will have a wealth of experience in security, including a “relevant security qualification (industry, police or military) and demonstrable expertise in site and event security assessments.”<\/p>\n They will also need to possess “in-depth understanding of the Terrorism Protection of Premises legislation and its implications for multi-site organisations” and “Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret technical security data and deliver clear, risk-based recommendations.”<\/p>\n Whoever secures the role will also receive a “generous” benefits package as part of the job, including a free lunchtime meal, and an “excellent” pension plan that is “highly valued by our employees”.<\/p>\n Employees at the royal household start with 25 days of annual leave, which can rise to 30 as they work there for a longer time, with bank holidays on top.
