We're looking for an enthusiastic, proactive and trustworthy Household & Estate Assistant to help care for a beautiful Victorian country estate.
This is a varied, hands-on role that combines household management with practical estate support. No two days are the same, making it ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and keeping everything running smoothly.
You will work alongside an established gardener, so this is not a gardening role. Instead, you'll become an integral part of the day-to-day operation of both the home and the business that operates from the estate.
ResponsibilitiesHousehold
- Cleaning and maintaining the house to a consistently high standard.
- Laundry, ironing and wardrobe care.
- Changing bed linen and preparing guest bedrooms.
- Keeping kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces immaculate.
- Restocking household supplies.
- Helping prepare the property before guests, clients or events.
Estate Support
- Receiving deliveries and organising parcels.
- Monitoring the property and reporting maintenance issues.
- Moving furniture and assisting with room setups.
- Refilling firewood, kindling and other household essentials.
- Basic practical tasks such as assembling furniture, hanging pictures and changing light bulbs.
- Liaising with tradespeople when required.
Errands
- Collecting furniture and purchases from Facebook Marketplace or local retailers.
- Grocery shopping and sourcing household items.
- Taking parcels to couriers.
- Collecting guests from nearby railway stations.
- Taking company or household vehicles for servicing, MOTs and valeting.
- General errands as required.
Business Support
As the estate also serves as a business headquarters, you may occasionally assist by:
- Preparing meeting rooms.
- Ensuring office areas remain presentable.
- Assisting with hospitality for visiting clients and investors.
- Helping set up and pack down for events held at the estate.
About You
You'll ideally have:
- A positive, can-do attitude.
- Excellent attention to detail.
- Pride in keeping a home beautifully presented.
- Strong organisational skills.
- The ability to work independently and use your initiative.
- A practical mindset and willingness to tackle a variety of tasks.
- A full UK driving licence.
- The right to work in the UK.
Experience within private households, boutique hotels, luxury hospitality, estates or similar environments would be advantageous but isn't essential. Above all, we're looking for someone dependable, hardworking and personable who enjoys becoming a valued part of a growing team.
What We Offer
- A unique opportunity to work from a beautiful Victorian country estate.
- A varied role where no two days are the same.
- Long-term career progression as the estate and business continue to grow.
- Supportive and friendly working environment.
- Competitive salary based on experience.
If you're someone who enjoys creating exceptional environments, takes pride in your work and is looking for a role with genuine variety and responsibility, we'd love to hear from you.
