Domestic Staff

Formal but superb employers who know how to respect and care for their staff. There is a butler and head housekeeper working as a smooth, happy team.

If you like to know where you stand re hours and days off then this five day week role, living in a superb 2 bed cottage will be for you.

The man will do the maintenance and help the gardeners. Walk the dogs plus general tidying and cleaning the cars, and the lady will greet guests and pack and unpack plus all the usual wardrobe care, ironing, bed turn down and changing, silver and antiques etc. ., You will need to know your way around the kitchen, preparing healthy, tasty food for the family to enjoy at the end of a busy day, so bring your cookbooks as they love to try new things., How good is this! With a full staff including chefs, nannies for the 4 little ones and you working with the head housekeeper, all the team will ensure this wonderful family and their four little dogs are looked after superbly.

Working on a rota system you will have most weekends off, but the odd one will be worked. The atmosphere is great and staff stay for ages. Of course, you will have to be fit and full of energy to dash around this large home but it's a great job for those of you who can look after fine fabrics, launder with excellence and efficiency and take pride in jobs well done., There are four in this mainly English family but usually three at home, mother, father and teenage son. They eat out a lot and only entertain on occasions so this Monday to Friday job is never manic! They love Asian, Mediterranean, actually just a diverse menu, as long as all is fresh and healthy. Game too as he shoots. You will do the ordering and manage the kitchen with other staff around the house.

This is for someone who wants a really long term job for a super, natural and informal family, the daughter only there in the school holidays, and who will prepare a light lunch for the mother and dinner for all in the evening with extra money to be earned for the odd weekend. As you just leave food for them to sort out for breakfast this is not an early start and you will be finished early too.

Living nearby helps of course and they like those who can show longevity in their jobs so no hopping from place to place to gain experience. Leave all that and just settle for a happy family.

You can see that this is for a true professional, happy to be a team player, loving order and happy to work on a shift system.

Maybe you have worked in a similar home with 5 star hotel training or for our royal family as that is the standard expected.
