A family based in Albury is seeking a professional, friendly, and experienced Domestic Couple to help organise and maintain their family home and grounds.
As a Domestic Couple, you will take on all tasks related to the smooth running and upkeep of the family’s home. This includes general management and organisation of household duties such as cleaning, tidying, and ensuring the home is always presentable. You’ll also manage laundry services and prepare guest rooms to maintain a welcoming environment for visitors.

The role involves grocery shopping and coordinating with external service providers, including gardeners, workmen, and window cleaners, ensuring all maintenance and household needs are met efficiently. Additionally, you will be responsible for the care of the family’s dogs, including feeding and occasionally walking them.

Gardening skills are essential for this role, as you will handle outdoor tasks like lawn mowing, hedge trimming, and strimming to keep the grounds well-maintained. You may also assist in overseeing any renovation projects that the family undertakes, ensuring they proceed smoothly and according to plan.

Finally, chauffeur duties will be part of your responsibilities, primarily for airport pickups and drop-offs, as well as other driving tasks as needed. With three young children in the household, cared for by dedicated nannies, occasional babysitting may also be required, adding variety and flexibility to your role.

Both candidates should be experienced in their roles, professional, caring, and warm individuals who will integrate well within the family and work effectively as a team. The Domestic Couple should be energetic, active, hardworking, healthy, and capable of working under pressure in a busy environment.

You should have excellent organisational and time management skills, be friendly and approachable, and conduct your work calmly and professionally. The family seeks candidates with a hands-on and flexible approach.

The working schedule is 5 days on/2 days off, with weekends off. Flexibility will be required depending on the family's plans.

This is a live-in position with a private cottage provided on the family’s grounds.

Both positions are only suitable for couples who already have the right to work in the UK.
