There are no castle priests anymore. I am assuming you mean a castle in medieval Europe, it doesn't matter, a priest's job has always been to administer the sacraments, to celebrate Mass, to hear confessions, to baptize, to witness marriages, to anoint the sick, etc. It has been that way since Our Blessed Lord appointed the first twelve as Bishops, and it will that way until the end of the world. A castle priest just performed his priestly duties in a castle, that's all.

What jobs do priests do in medieval England?
Priests usually worked in churches in villages, town, or cities. They tended to the spiritual well being of the people in the congregations of the churches. They baptized, said mass, gave religious instruction, performed unction, and said prayers for people as needed. They consoled people in distress, and performed works of charity where they could. They could have been called on to do other things, including write letters or other documents for people who were illiterate.
What are the priests of the Israelites called?
Priests come from the tribe of Levi [pronounced lay-vee].
Originally, the first born males from all 12 tribes were to be Cohanim [pronounced co-ha-neem, plural]. However, during the incident of the golden calf during the exodus from Egypt, not a single male from the tribe of Levi participated in this idolatry while males from the 11 other tribes did. As a result, HaShem (The Creator) deemed only the Levi males to be fit for priesthood.
Today, there is no high priest and priests, however, men who come from the Cohan lineage do have special roles in religious services.
How much did Egyptian priests get paid?

What were the skills of medieval priests?
The answer to that can vary depending on what type of priest and where they served. The most common type of priest was probably the simple parish priest, who served either in a village, or in the parish church of a town. All but the smallest villages had a church and priest in residence.
In a village a priests lived a fairly comfortable life compared to their peasant neighbors. Peasants owed 10% of their agricultural production to the parish in which they lived as a tithe. This was not a voluntary contribution, but was essentially a tax, and the church had representatives in the fields during harvest to insure its collection. Not all of this went to support the priest, but the priest would likely have one of the better houses in the village, would likely have adequate funds for a servant for household chores, and generally not have material concerns.
The village priest had a number of duties. He said mass daily in the village church, and would have said several services on Sunday. He heard confession from his parishioners. He officiated at major life events such as christening, baptism, marriage, and funerals. He would have educated the villagers in basic religious doctrine and practice, such as the Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and various other prayers. He may have read from a book of vernacular sermons, or told his parishioners stories from scripture.
In the Canterbury Tales Chaucer presents the village priest as a very positive and sympathetic character, on who busied himself with his duties, as well as visiting his neighbors when they were sick or had need. This might suggest that the parish priest, provided he supported his community, would have been a respected and liked fellow. Chaucer was considerably less kind to many of the other churchmen he represented.
In theory a priest was to remain unmarried, but in practice a priest may have taken an common law wife, perhaps as an "open secret" in the community, or as a practical arrangement with his housekeeper.

What religious roles did the priests have?
from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
Priest.
An authorized mediator who offers a true sacrifice in acknowledgment of God's supreme dominion over human beings and in expiation for their sins. A priest's mediation is the reverse of that of a prophet, who communicates from God to the people. A priest mediates from the people to God.
Christ, who is God and man, is the first, last, and greatest priest of the New Law. He is the eternal high priest who offered Himself once and for all on the Cross, a victim of infinite value, and he continually renews that sacrifice on the altar through the ministry of the Church.
Within the Church are men who are specifically ordained as priest to consecrate and offer the body and blood of Christ in the Mass. The Apostles were the first ordained priests, when on Holy Thursday night Christ told them to do in his memory what he had just done at the Last Supper. All priests and bishops trace their ordination to the Apostles. Their second essential priestly power, to forgive sins, was conferred by Christ on Easter Sunday, when he told the Apostles, "For those whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven; for those whose sins you retain, they are retained: (John 20-22, 23). All the Christian faithful, however, also share in the priesthood by their baptismal character. They are enabled to offer themselves in sacrifice with Christ through the Eucharistic liturgy. They offer the Mass in the sense that they internally unite themselves with the outward offering made by the ordained priest alone.

I want to add that a typical contract security guard making $12.00 an hour working 40 hours a week getting paid to do his homework assignments on company time at a quiet jobsite as a seminary student, can make just as much while being a student before he is ordained than he will after he is ordained as a priest.
