I assume by your statement, a Vatican is a permanent resident of Vatican City. The duties could be anything from that as the head of state (pope), other Vatican officials who are in charge of or work in other ecclesiastical offices of the Vatican, members of the Swiss Guard or Vatican Police, maintenance workers, custodians, food workers, museum curators and workers, and any number of other positions. Each one has its prescribed duties and it is impossible to list all the job descriptions here.
