• Butler/Waiter
• Driving the client and their son
• Organising events at the home

A cottage/flat will be provided for the Butler on site and a car is also available if necessary. It is also worth noting that the client does travel a fair amount to London and abroad and so they want to find someone they can trust to look after their household whilst away.

Please get in touch with your updated CV should you be interested in this position.

• Location: Northamptonshire
• Job Title: Butler
• Hours: 5 days per week (flexibility on the days working), on average 8 hours per day

Agency:

We are on the hunt for a hard-working Domestic Couple who are happy to carry out all encompassing duties on a large estate in the countryside.

External duties include:

• maintaining all gardens/formal lawns
• looking after the flower beds, kitchen garden and wild flower meadow
• Maintaining the swimming pool, tennis court, paddocks/extra grounds
• working closely with contractors to manage projects
• General handyman duties
• Basic understanding of electrician and plumbing
• Driving the clients when needed

Internal duties include:

• Housekeeping/cooking - very high housekeeping standards
• traditional housekeeping duties such as deep cleaning, lots of laundry, tidying, ironing, dealing with delicates, dusting, vacuuming etc
• basic cooking and following recipies
• working alongside chef to help prepare lunches/dinners
• dealing with dietary requitements
• keeping the house tidy at all times

The couple would need to be able to drive and have their own car. The client is in process of getting a car for the couple to use, however, for now, they will need to use their own vehicle and will be reimbursed for fuel where appropriate.

When the family is not in residence the couple would be expected to work Monday to Friday and carry out flexible hours. The family are only in residence for around 2 - 3 months of the year, maximum 2 weeks at a time. During the times that the family are in residence, the role becomes more intense, and the couple will need to be on hand and present for as much and long as needed. Outside of those times the role is theirs to shape and mould as long as everything is run the way the client wants it.

Lastly, the family have lots of other staff hired in London being able to work and interact with the team is imperative not to mention on occasion travelling to London to support the team there (this will not be a regular occurrence).

The ideal couple would work well in a team and happy muck in with everyone else. A bonus would be if the couple had experience in the Cotswolds and working on estates.

Please see further details below:

Start: ASAP
Days working/Hours: Monday - Friday, flexible hours whilst family not in residence
Accommodation: 1 bedroom cottage flat (separate entrance form main drive way)
Driving: Essential
Combined Salary: Approx. combined £70,000 - £75,000 gpa

Agency:

We are on the hunt for a superb housekeeper with some house management experience looking for the next step up in their career.

The couple are based between the Middle East and the UK and spend about 30% of their time living in both London and Hampshire. The property the housekeeper/house manager will be managing is a recently refurbished 4-bedroom thatched cottage with a swimming pool and large gardens.

It will be down to the housekeeper/house manager to ensure they maintain the daily running’s and maintenance of the household whilst the couple are away and most importantly liaising with the PA to ensure the household is prepped and in the condition the client would expect on their arrival. Whilst the couple are not in residence, the housekeeper/house manager will be able to dictate their own hours and have autonomy over their duty’s day to day, however if the couple are residing in the home, the candidate will need to be willing to be present and around as much and as long as the client requires. 

The couple do not have children but do have two large dogs so the candidate will have to be comfortable with both walking and caring for large dogs as part of their role. There may also be a need for the candidate to prep light meals for the couple and run simple errands on their behalf.

In an ideal scenario, the candidate will be based in Hampshire so they can live between the client’s property and their own when the couple are not in the UK, but this is not essential.

The property is rather remote, so the candidate will need to be ale to drive and have their own car.

Please see further details below:

Start: ASAP

Location: Hampshire, UK

Hours: Flexible, depending on if the client is in the UK

Driver: Yes, must have their own car

Accommodation: studio apartment annexe provided

Salary: Approx. £45,000 gpa (flexible for the right candidate)

Agency:

A UHNW Family of 5 is looking for a traditional daily housekeeper to help them with the running of their large property in Gerrard Gross.

The family is looking for a housekeeper who is happy to undertake traditional housekeeping duties to a very high standard such as deep cleaning, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, polishing, laundry, ironing and making sure every room is kept in an immaculate tidy condition. There are already two other housekeepers that work within the home so the duties will be shared.

For 9 months of the year, the house will be empty, so it is paramount that the housekeeper is able to work independently and not need direction. When the client is in residence additional staff will come in to help maintain the standard within the home, the candidate also needs to be able to work well within a team.

The candidate will be required to work Monday to Friday 40/45 hours per week. When the client is in residence the hours will adjust and the housekeeper will need to be flexible, there might be the odd weekend they’ll be asked to work.
