This is a full-time, dynamic position requiring a highly organised and proactive professional who can manage multiple properties, coordinate logistics, and ensure each residence is maintained to a high standard at all times.

  • Book flights, transfers, and chauffeur services.
  • Organise ground transport for professional and personal travel.
  • Manage last-minute changes and maintain a clear travel schedule.

  • Coordinate servicing, inspections (MOT in the UK, ITV in Spain), and insurance.
  • Arrange vehicle transfers between locations when required.

Household Organisation

  • Ensure each residence is fully prepared before arrival.
  • Coordinate grocery shopping and fridge stocking.
  • Maintain household supplies (linens, toiletries, cleaning products).
  • Oversee laundry and linen changes.
  • Arrange additional requests for guests or special occasions.

Job Requirements

The ideal candidate is structured, reliable, and comfortable managing multiple environments:

  • Proven experience as a House Manager, Estate Manager, or Private Household Manager.
  • Excellent organisational skills and strong attention to detail.
  • Proactive and able to work independently.
  • Experience managing contractors, suppliers, and household operations.
  • Discreet, professional, and dependable.
  • Fluent in English.
  • Spanish is a strong advantage.

Working Conditions

Location & Travel

  • Regular travel between Wales and Southern Spain
  • Typical schedule includes:
    • Around 3 months based in the UK
    • 3 to 4 months based in Spain
    • Additional travel depending on the principal’s schedule

Flexibility is essential, as plans may change with short notice.

Salary

From £60,000+ per year, depending on experience
