Couple. Surrey. Absent owners.. £85k plus.

Location: Surrey

Position: Permanent

Salary: £85k +

Job Type : Domestic Staff

KINDLY NOTE THAT YOU MUST BE WORKING AS A DOMESTIC COUPLE NOW WITH A LONG HISTORY OF DOING SO. You will manage this estate mostly alone as the owners only visit 3/4 months of the year and bring their own staff with them so loads of help.

The present couple tell me you could not work for nicer people and they have been with them for years.

The main house is large but easy to clean and there is a super house for you. One pet allowed but no dependents.

Basically, you make up your own times of work over an 8 hour day, so if meeting a contractor at 8am finish at 4pm but when they are there, then just be available.

It is vital that you can manage your own time and be professional and efficient. Great care needed for the grounds, mainly lawn, so sit on mower, drive visitors, a little butler service at times so, one moment in tee shirt and jeans the next front of house meeting and greeting. Some PA work too so be computer literate . Being an all round couple, warm and welcoming and working well with the other visiting staff will all be necessary.

Due to the charm and appreciation shown by the owners your work will be pleasurable and long term so do contact us now please.

How to shine:

Be calm

Have a warm personality and be smart.

Pre-empt wishes, learn personal tastes..

Cook healthy food.

Somerset: Live in Couple.Hk/Cook Groundsman. £90k GPA.

Location: Somerset:

Position: Permanent

Salary: £90k GPA.

Job Type : Domestic Staff

You will have a 5 day, 45 hour week with weekends off when the family are not in residence, so many weekends free for you in the year.  The cottage is one bedroom and, sorry, no pets allowed.

 

They have 4 dogs and teenagers (all well behaved!)  They are well known and respected figures in the art/fashion world, needing to employ those who are experienced and discreet for this large country estate.

 

The lady will be cook and housekeeper, loads of time to manage the house during the many absences of the family but full on when they are there.  The mother is really hands on so no worries there and help from the London home is called on when a full house.

 

Cooking is not complicated, but you must be confident and serving, wardrobe care and loving care of fine china and art are all in your hand book of talents.

 

The chap will know his gardening and handyman skills and use a chainsaw, so certificate essential.  Primarily an “outside” role with care of the 4 dogs who live there.  There are other ground staff, but you and your wife/partner will be the management couple.

 

For professionals who love the country, drive, like a mostly informal role and love dogs, this will be a workout at times but very rewarding and the local pub is great fun!

 

How to shine:

Know your stuff!

Have experience and be match fit!
