The successful couple will work together as a trusted household team, ensuring the residence remains clean, organized, well-maintained, comfortable, and guest-ready at all times.

- Handle housekeeping, laundry, ironing, linens, and general wardrobe care.
- Manage grocery shopping, household errands, supplies, and inventory.
- Prepare simple meals and assist with kitchen organization, meal preparation, and cleanup.

- Handle minor household maintenance and identify repairs or issues requiring attention.
- Coordinate contractors, tradespeople, landscapers, pool services, and other service providers when required.
- Prepare the residence for guests and events and assist with hosting, setup, and post-event cleanup.
- Provide transportation and driving support as required; at least one member of the couple must be a licensed driver.
- Monitor the overall condition of the residence and property and proactively address household needs.
- Maintain complete discretion and confidentiality while respecting the privacy and lifestyle of the household.
- Provide additional household and estate support as required, with flexibility during busy periods, guests, or special events.

- Trustworthy, discreet, respectful, and committed to maintaining strict household privacy and confidentiality.
- Service-oriented approach with a genuine pride in maintaining a home and property to a high standard.
- At least one member of the couple must be a licensed and confident driver.
- Comfortable respecting the homeowners' privacy, personal beliefs, preferences, and lifestyle.
Expectations:
The couple will reside on the property in private accommodation provided by the employer.
While the position is not intended to require continuous 24/7 work, living on the property means the couple must be comfortable with a degree of flexibility and responding to reasonable household needs when required.
The expectation is that the couple will maintain a healthy balance between personal time and household responsibilities, while being available for planned events, guests, scheduled services, and occasional additional needs.
