Organised and friendly Secretary for Private Estate and Household in Warwickshire

A capable, highly organised, and proactive individual to support a Principal and their Executive Assistant in the smooth running of both professional and domestic operations across a private household and estate. This is a hands-on, secretarially-focused position that blends administrative support with household coordination in a high-standard but warm working environment. This is a diverse, on-the-ground role within a well-run estate, requiring someone who thrives on variety and brings energy, professionalism, and initiative to each day. You’ll be assisting with document management, supplier coordination, staff support, and domestic organisation, helping to ensure all aspects of the estate and the Principal’s affairs run efficiently and with care. Other duties include overseeing maintenance for the estate and vehicles. The role also involves liaising with suppliers and tradespeople, managing petty cash, and keeping accurate records. You’ll help organise events, maintain tidy office and shared spaces, and provide occasional hands-on domestic support. Strong organisational skills, discretion, and a willingness to pitch in wherever needed are essential. No two days will be the same in this dynamic role. Self-motivated yet collaborative – able to work independently and as part of a wider household team.
