A warm, busy and organised family based in Cobham, Surrey, is seeking an exceptional Live-in Family Assistant / House Manager to support the smooth running of both family life and a substantial private residence.
The family are looking for someone Monday – Friday 7am to 7pm to care for their two children aged 11 and 13 years old. Both children attend school so there is down time during the day.
This is a role combining family support, household organisation and practical day-to-day household coordination. The family already employs a cleaner, gardener and weekend nanny, and they are now looking for a highly capable all-rounder who can confidently bridge the gap between family support and household management.
Whilst the role does not include any cleaning, it does require somebody highly hands-on who takes genuine pride in maintaining exceptional household organisation, presentation and day-to-day standards throughout the home.
The successful candidate will become a central part of the household’s day-to-day running, helping ensure family life runs smoothly, and efficiently. The role would suit someone naturally organised, emotionally intelligent and highly switched on, who genuinely enjoys creating structure, anticipating needs and helping busy family life run smoothly behind the scenes.
The children are older and increasingly independent; therefore the role is less focused on traditional childcare and more centred around organisation, coordination, emotional support and practical day-to-day family management.
This role requires someone who notices what needs doing before being asked, thinks ahead naturally and takes genuine pride in helping a busy household operate exceptionally well.
A genuine love of dogs is essential, as the family’s dog is a very important part of the household and daily family life.
The role will also include travel so you must be happy to accompany them, mostly to America.
The accommodation provided is a self contained 1 bedroom apartment with living are, kitchen and bathroom
