Today, The Queen visited the Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) village to celebrate the charity’s centenary year. The charity supports Armed Forces personnel and veterans, and their families, as well as people who have been long-term unemployed. During the visit in Kent Her Majesty opened the new Appleton Lodge care facility and visited the Centenary Village housing project. The lodge provides care for residents as well as local people in the area. She also met RBLI Village’s eldest resident, 99-year old WWII veteran John Riggs, and his family. Finally, The Queen visited the RBLI Centenary Village, to see the completed first phase of the development, which includes specially-adapted apartments for wounded former military personnel.

But of course, the Queen doesn’t want just anyone taking on this role. So here’s what you need to in order to qualify: prior experience handling social media for a high profile organization, confidence using a wide range of different content management systems, a firm understanding of HTML, and naturally, top-notch writing and editing skills.

“It’s about never standing still and finding new ways to maintain The Queen’s presence in the public eye and on the world stage,” the ad reads.

The job ad also highlights that the head of digital engagement’s work will be viewed by millions. The Royal Family Twitter account has more than 4 million followers while the Instagram account boasts almost 7 million, so there likely isn’t too much room for error here.
