  • Arrange access for contractors and external service providers, coordinating their visits when necessary.
  • Follow up on maintenance work and ensure tasks are completed satisfactorily.
  • Manage day-to-day property requirements independently and respond efficiently to unexpected situations.

Job Requirements

  • Previous experience as a domestic couple, caretaker couple, or in a comparable private estate position.
  • Practical skills across housekeeping, gardening, property maintenance, and general household organisation.
  • A proactive, resourceful approach and the ability to manage responsibilities without close supervision.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to anticipate the needs of the property and its owners.
  • Reliability, discretion, and a professional attitude towards private household service.
  • Good spoken French for communicating with the owners and local service providers.
  • Valid driving licence required.
  • Impeccable presentation and a genuine commitment to maintaining high standards.

Both candidates should be comfortable living on the property and taking shared responsibility for its ongoing care and security.
