A hedge fund billionaire has posted a job for an "iPad butler" to look after his family's gadgets.
Chris Rokos, whose firm is one of the world's biggest hedge funds, wants a VIP support engineer to provide "day-to-day technical support for a senior member of our Partnership Board, spanning both their professional and personal lives and that of their family".
The LinkedIn advert, which did not contain a salary, called for a person whose role will see them "own all home entertainment services" and give "support for a senior member of our partnership board and their family".
"Resolving — in a pro-active and timely manner — all incidents flagged, providing desk-side and remote support," the advert adds.
Applicants will need at least a 2:1 degree from a Russell Group university, a "strong academic background" and a "comprehensive understanding of Apple media products and features".

He raked in more than £500m last year, according to The Times, and owns property in Wiltshire.
A quad at Pembroke College, Oxford, is named after him after he made a donation, and he was involved in the National Gallery campaign to save the Diana and Actaeon painting by Titian for the country in 2009.
