Summary
*** Land-based role in the UK for a Couple ***
LOVELY DOMESTIC COUPLE SOUGHT FOR HNWI IN EAST YORKSHIRE
Location: East Yorkshire, UK
Salary: £50,000-£60,000 joint per annum, negotiable DOE
Contract: Permanent
Status: Live-in
A high-net-worth couple is seeking a dedicated, discreet, and proactive live-in Domestic Couple to manage the upkeep and smooth running of their main residence in East Yorkshire, with occasional responsibilities at their second home in Guernsey. This is a varied and rewarding role for an experienced Couple who take pride in delivering a high standard of service, have a keen eye for detail, and work well as a team.
Responsible for the daily cleaning and upkeep of the couple’s property, duties will include bed making and linen changes, bathroom cleaning and refreshing towels and amenities, as well as laundry and ironing, which will include delicates care. Organised and time-efficient in your ways of working, you will ensure that the home is always tidy and welcoming, and also undertake household and grocery shopping, as well as general errand running.
Managing all basic DIY duties within the home, the Couple will also ensure that the outside of the property is well maintained, ensuring that windows, pathways and driveways are kept in pristine condition. Taking responsibility for the interior and exterior cleanliness of the couple’s four luxury vehicles, at least one of the Couple should be a confident driver with a full UK driving license, able to drive the principals locally, as and when required. A gardener is employed, so no gardening will be required.
The principals also have a home in Guernsey which they visit a few times per year, so one of the Couple will go to set the house up ahead of their arrival, and then tidy up again once the principals leave, so a flexible, adaptable Couple who is willing to travel on an ad-hoc basis is required for this role. Located in a lovely seaside town in East Yorkshire, this role will suit a Couple who enjoys countryside living rather than the bright lights of a bustling city.
Working from Monday to Friday from 9:30am-4pm, flexibility will be required to assist on the odd Saturday when the principals are entertaining, for which advanced notice will be given. Accommodation is provided in a fully furnished and expensed 3-bedroom home within walking distance from the principals’ property, and a car will be provided for the Couple to use as well. The ideal couple will be thoughtful, considerate and pay great attention to detail, ensuring that the principals’ expectations are exceeded.
