A posh family living in a glamorous London neighbourhood are advertising for a £55,000-a-year chauffeur - but they must have prior experience of driving a Rolls-Royce.

The successful applicant will be required to drive one of the family members in the luxury car for a grand total of three miles a day, from their home in Chelsea to their Mayfair office.

It will be a Monday to Friday occupation, although the employee may occasionally be called in for a weekend shift, and involve gruelling 12-hour days from 7am to 7pm.

On top of the daily commute, which typically takes eight to 25 minutes depending on traffic, the chauffeur might have to ferry other family members from A to B, and run other errands.

In spare moments, they will be needed to carry out some light handyman duties at the home and office.
