The search is on to find a new Lieutenant Governor for the Isle of Man.
Sir Richard Gozney is expected to stand down from the position later this year.
The role of the lieutenant governor is traditionally held by a previously non-Island resident, to fulfil the criteria that the position is a completely objective one.
The job description reads:
"As Her Majesty The Queen’s personal representative and impartial adviser, the Lieutenant Governor is required to live in the Island and play a full and active part in Manx life, with particular emphasis on community and charitable affairs.
"The role involves working closely with the Isle of Man Government to promote the Island’s interests at public and social events, representing Her Majesty The Queen on ceremonial occasions and hosting Royal and VIP visits at the official residence, Government House.
"The Lieutenant Governor is also required to perform a range of executive functions and to exercise delegated authority to give Royal Assent to primary legislation brought forward by the Island’s parliament, Tynwald.
"The successful candidate will be diplomatic and tactful in the discharge of official duties, and act as a discreet and lucid communicator to the Isle of Man and United Kingdom Governments, paying close attention to local political and societal sensitivities and protocols.
"The role demands the ability to play a leading role in community life in the Island, and to be comfortable in doing so. Applicants must be a British citizen, an Irish citizen, a citizen of a Commonwealth country, or hold dual nationality, one of which falls in one of the previously stated categories, and must have a distinguished record of Crown, Public or other relevant service at the highest level."
