* Training and supervising other staff within the household team, ensuring supervision of any visitors and contractors.
* Working closely with the Personal Assistant to ensure the smooth running of the household to very high standards at all times.
* Upholding strict confidentiality and discretion in all aspects of the role, respecting the privacy and security of the family.
* Demonstrating a proactive and solutions-oriented approach to household issues that may arise, being understanding of the family and always considering their needs.
* All laundry care, including experience caring for a range of garments and clothing.
* Experience of caring for specialist items e.g., furniture and breakables, maintaining logs of items and handling breakages.
