Butler

Live-Out Butler job (M/F) in Dubai, UAE

Dubai

Job Description

An Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) principal based in Dubai is seeking an experienced, service-driven Butler to deliver a refined and highly personalized level of service throughout the day.

The successful candidate will join an established household team comprising a chef, drivers, and housekeepers, contributing to the smooth running and impeccable presentation of the residence. The household also has an Australian Labradoodle, so a genuine affinity for dogs and a willingness to assist with daily pet care are essential.

As the first point of contact for guests and visitors, the Butler must combine impeccable personal presentation with a warm, welcoming manner and exceptional interpersonal skills. The principal expects someone who can quickly learn his preferences, anticipate his needs, and deliver discreet, proactive service without requiring constant direction.

This is a full-time, live-out position requiring flexibility around the principal’s schedule, appointments, and travel arrangements. Working hours may vary from one week to the next, depending on his whereabouts.

Transportation to and from the residence may be arranged, subject to the candidate’s location and collection requirements. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete a practical trial, with an immediate start available for the successful candidate.

  • Order household supplies and maintain accurate records of purchases and expenditure.
  • Monitor stock levels and manage inventories to ensure essential items are available when needed.
  • Coordinate closely with the chef, drivers, and housekeeping staff to maintain seamless household operations.
  • Assist with packing and unpacking luggage before and after the principal’s trips, ensuring clothing and personal items are carefully prepared.
  • Maintain high standards of presentation and attention to detail throughout the residence.
  • Handle additional requests and household-related tasks as directed by the principal.

Dog care

  • Provide daily care for the principal’s Australian Labradoodle, including feeding, refreshing drinking water, and walking.
  • Support the dog’s grooming and general cleanliness as required.
  • Ensure the dog’s daily routine is maintained and coordinate care when necessary.

Job Requirements

  • Private household experience: Proven experience as a Butler within a UHNW or similarly high-standard private household.
  • Exceptional presentation: Immaculately groomed, professional, and confident when interacting with guests and the principal’s associates.
  • Service excellence: Strong knowledge of food and beverage service, table etiquette, and the care of fine service items.
  • Anticipation and initiative: Able to recognize needs in advance, understand personal preferences quickly, and work with minimal supervision.
  • Professional discretion: Trustworthy, tactful, and committed to maintaining the strictest confidentiality.
  • Flexibility: Comfortable adjusting working hours to accommodate the principal’s changing schedule and commitments.
  • Teamwork: Experienced in collaborating with chefs, drivers, housekeepers, and other household staff.
  • Animal care: Comfortable around dogs and willing to take responsibility for routine daily care.
  • Communication: Excellent spoken and written English.
  • Availability: Ready to attend a practical trial at short notice and commence work immediately following a successful assessment.
