• Keeping on top of the overall organisation, presentation, and upkeep of the property
• Light PA and administrative support as required
• Arranging, liaising with, and providing access to tradespeople and contractors
• Managing household supplies and ensuring the home runs efficiently
• Ensuring the property remains secure and security‑conscious at all times
• Occasional care and walking of a small dog when the principals are in residence
• Open to cooking for the principals when they are in residence (not essential)

Candidate Requirements:

• Proven experience working within a private household
• Trustworthy, discreet, and highly security aware
• Excellent attention to detail and high housekeeping standards
• Organised, self‑motivated, and able to work independently
• Proactive, flexible, and solution‑focused with a can‑do approach
• Professional, calm, and long‑term focused
