The position will start in or after February 2023 and will be 5 / 5.5 days per week from Monday to Sunday (see further details re working hours below).

The household is very family orientated day-to-day with informal family meals but the principal is also a very busy corporate leader who entertains other VIPs and hosts larger functions at the house.

There is an established household team which includes a house-manager, security, nannies and housekeepers (one of whom helps with the family cooking on Fridays and some weekends). This is a new position, as the family have recently moved into their new home.
