• General property maintenance: carpentry, minor repairs, painting


• Outdoor furniture care: jet washing, oiling and seasonal upkeep


• Vehicles: cleaning, maintenance and MOTs


• Occasionally assisting with driving duties


• Equipment maintenance: bikes, golf cart, sports equipment


• Shopping, errands and logistics


• Dog walking and vet / grooming appointments


• Event setup and support


• Assisting the groundsman when needed




The Ideal Candidate


• Strong practical background – carpentry experience advantageous


• Good awareness of household systems (plumbing, electrics, A/V) – not required to be an expert, but observant and proactive


• Clean, full UK driving licence – confident driving principal and family


• Well-presented and comfortable engaging directly with the principal


• Self-starter with a keen eye for detail and a ’get it done’ attitude


• Previous private household or estate experience preferred
