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

Location: Surrey

Position: Permanent

Salary: £85k +

Job Type : Domestic Staff

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.
