Domestic Couple job in Villeneuve-sur-Verberie, France

Villeneuve-sur-Verberie

Job Description

A private family is seeking an experienced, reliable and well-presented Domestic Couple to take responsibility for the day-to-day upkeep and smooth running of a prestigious country estate in Villeneuve-sur-Verberie, Oise (60).

The property is an impressive ten-bedroom country residence arranged over two floors, with lift access, and regularly accommodates between nine and ten family members and guests, including teenagers.

The couple will be taking over from the current caretakers, who are leaving their positions in September. The family is therefore looking for a dependable pair who can quickly establish themselves within the household and take ownership of their respective responsibilities.

Madame regularly spends weekends at the property. As an artistic director working in the luxury sector, she has a particularly strong appreciation for high standards, presentation, attention to detail and impeccable service.

The residence contains valuable artwork, silverware and other precious items, making trust, discretion and respect for the property essential.

The Roles

The position is divided between two complementary areas of responsibility, allowing each member of the couple to focus on their primary duties.

Responsibilities

Member of the Couple – Maintenance & Grounds Support

The first member of the couple will be responsible for the practical upkeep of the property, including:

  • Carrying out general DIY and minor maintenance tasks.
  • Performing light repairs and addressing everyday maintenance requirements.
  • Cleaning windows and maintaining their presentation.
  • Monitoring the general condition of the property.
  • Identifying maintenance issues and reporting any problems requiring specialist attention.
  • Ensuring the residence and its immediate surroundings remain well maintained.
  • Providing practical support to the household whenever required.

Member of the Couple – Housekeeping & Cooking

The second member will focus primarily on the interior of the residence and family meals, including:

  • Maintaining the interiors of the property to a very high standard.
  • Preparing the house before the family’s arrival.
  • Preparing fresh, healthy and balanced French cuisine for the family and their guests.
  • Preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Planning menus according to the family’s requirements.
  • Shopping for groceries and managing food supplies.
  • Setting and preparing the house for entertaining and family gatherings.
  • Creating and maintaining flower arrangements throughout the residence.
  • Managing household linen and laundry.
  • Washing, ironing, folding and organising household textiles.
  • Ensuring the home is consistently presented to an exceptional standard.

Existing Household Team

The couple will not be working alone.

  • Additional housekeepers already provide regular support to the property.
  • Two experienced gardeners are already employed and operate independently.

The successful couple will therefore become part of an established household structure and should be comfortable coordinating their work with other members of staff.

Job Requirements

The family is looking for a mature and professional couple who are genuinely committed to a long-term private household position.

Both candidates should demonstrate:

  • Previous experience working together as a domestic couple or in comparable private household positions.
  • A serious, reliable and professional approach.
  • Flexibility and willingness to adapt to the family’s requirements.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Loyalty and a genuine sense of responsibility.
  • Absolute discretion and respect for the family’s privacy.
  • Excellent personal presentation.
  • A calm and service-oriented manner.
  • The ability to work independently and take initiative.
  • Respect for valuable furniture, artwork, antiques, silverware and delicate materials.

A car and valid driving licence would be advantageous, although candidates without their own vehicle may also be considered.

Given the nature of the residence and its contents, the successful couple must be exceptionally trustworthy, discreet and respectful of confidentiality.

Working Conditions

  • Position: Domestic Couple
  • Location: Villeneuve-sur-Verberie, Oise (60), France
  • Property: Prestigious private country estate
  • Contract: Long-term position
  • Status: Live-in
  • Start date: As soon as possible
  • Handover: No handover with the current couple is planned
  • Accommodation: Separate two-bedroom house located on the estate
  • Accommodation facilities: Equipped kitchen

Salary

€2,000 – €2,200 net per month per person, depending on experience and suitability.
