- It’s knowing the horses are ready to play their role in Royal events. It’s the collaboration and the community spirit, and it’s the pride in joining a team that delivers exceptional results. This is what makes working for the Royal Household so different. The Royal Mews is the team within The Royal Household responsible for caring for and training The King’s carriage and riding horses and maintaining all the carriages and coaches. Joining the team at Windsor Castle, you’ll provide high levels of care and welfare to our horses and ponies ensuring they are prepared for riding. Key Responsibilities: - You’ll be responsible for all aspects of horse and pony care, including daily feeds and exercise. - From mucking out stables to cleaning saddlery and harnesses, you'll help to ensure the Royal Mews is kept in the very best condition and that all equipment is fit for purpose. - You'll also occasionally train young horses in preparation for their ceremonial career. - The standards you'll aim for will provide the biggest challenge, and the greatest reward Whilst this role is based at Windsor Castle, you’ll on occasion travel to other Royal Residences. This role will involve extended periods of being on your feet, performing manual tasks and handling of heavy loads. Essential Criteria: - A highly capable and confident rider, you have significant experience working with young horses. - With a passion for a career in equine care, you're proficient in all aspects of stable management. - You're an outstanding team player with a flexible, proactive and productive approach to your work. - Possession of a recognised equine qualification (e.g. BHS, BDS, NVQ, Equine Diploma or equivalent) would also be desirable. Above all, you'll be committed to achieving high standards every day, making you a real asset to the Royal Mews team. Benefits: We know that to deliver our best work; we need to feel at our best.
