Students are being offered "highly competitive rates of pay" to help with the harvest on the King's Sandringham Estate.

Sandringham Farm is looking for staff to work on 2,400 hectares of land in Norfolk in what the job advert calls an "interesting and unique environment".

It promises "high quality accommodation" on the estate.

Crops such as wheat, barley oats and beans are grown on the farm, which also keeps cattle and sheep.

In the advert, the estate is looking for candidates with a "strong interest in organic farming" - or those who want to learn new techniques.

It said the "harvest students" would begin work in late June, until September or October.
