King Charles is offering 'high quality accommodation' and 'highly competitive rates of pay' to UK students willing to work the farm at his Sandringham estate.
Applicants should be available for 39 hours per week with the opportunity for generous overtime to cover longer hours 'as required'.
Duties at the 'unique' workplace will include operating tractors, maintaining and operating grain stores, cultivating, working with livestock and maintenance on the 20,000-acre estate in north Norfolk.
Estate bosses are believed to be deliberately seeking British workers rather than foreign labourers who would come to the UK under the Seasonal Worker scheme.
Around 45,000 temporary visas are expected to be issued under the scheme this year - 15,000 more than last year
