A wealthy couple has advertised online for a housekeeper willing to work in their various lavish homes around the world.
The "permanent travelling housekeeper" will be primarily looking after the mystery couple's luxurious home in an affluent area of North Berwick, East Lothian in the UK.
But the lucky employee will also follow the couple for "long periods" to Dubai - where the expats are thought to reside - Italy and the south of France, helping to keep their lives running "smoothly and efficiently".
"Additionally the applicant will need to have the ability to travel for long periods in south of France and Italy also Dubai where we are resident."
While not necessarily a first job, the ad says that previous paid experience is "not essential".
But it's not just the jet-set couple that the housekeeper has to look after, their duties will also include any guests.
The advert reads: "We regularly have house guests staying with us. You will be required to help us to take care of our guests by organising their bedrooms and en suite, preparing breakfast and other meals, taking care of their laundry as and when required."
There's also a long list of roles and duties, including housekeeping and meal preparation.
However, the advert warns: "Please note, if you are selected for an interview we will ask you to demonstrate some practical skills such as ironing and basic meal preparation."
Although the salary is unknown, the offer states that pay will be "negotiable upon experience".
