Job Opportunity: Domestic Couple in Essex
£60,000 joint salary + private two-bedroom accommodation + all household bills included
We are recruiting for an experienced Domestic Couple to join a prestigious private household in Essex in a permanent, live-in position.
This is a lovely opportunity for a household team that has previously worked together within a private household, estate, hospitality, or similar environment and is looking for a long-term role. The principals spend limited periods of the year in residence, so the workload will naturally vary. During occupied periods the household will be busier and greater flexibility will be required, while at other times the focus will be on maintaining the property, ensuring everything is secure, and keeping the household ready for the principals' return.
Private two-bedroom accommodation is provided onsite, with rent and household utility bills fully covered in addition to the salary.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
