Live-in Domestic Couple Job in Ascot, Berkshire

A client of Greycoat Lumleys is looking for an experienced, proactive and organised live-in Domestic Couple to oversee the smooth running, presentation and maintenance of a substantial seven-bedroom family home and grounds in Ascot, Berkshire.

The property is not the principals’ main residence. One principal is based in Dubai for most of the year; however, their adult children and grandchildren use the property most weekends. This is a hands-on role for a practical and highly organised couple who take pride in maintaining a beautiful home to exceptional standards.

Duties to include:

Housekeeping and Household Organisation duties:

  • Hands-on housekeeping, deep cleaning and maintaining immaculate presentation standards throughout the property

  • Laundry, ironing, linen care, bed changing and preparing bedrooms for family arrivals

  • Kitchen and pantry provisioning, household shopping, errands, online orders and deliveries

  • Household organisation, seasonal tasks and inventory management

  • Assisting with the care of one elderly dog

House and Property Maintenance duties:

  • Overseeing the upkeep, presentation and security of the property and grounds, including daily estate walks, room airing and condition checks

  • General handyman duties, preventative maintenance, pressure washing, waste management and supporting the gardening team when required

  • Vehicle cleaning, upkeep and driving duties

  • Monitoring utilities, heating, Wi-Fi, televisions, printers, CCTV, gates, alarms, fire systems and intercoms, including general troubleshooting

  • Managing tools, supplies and equipment inventories, reviewing risk assessments and liaising with contractors and external suppliers

  • Reporting maintenance issues and ongoing works to the family PA in London

The ideal couple will have previous experience working within private households or estates, a long-term mindset and an excellent eye for detail. They will be proactive, practical and solutions-led, with strong organisational and communication skills. Confidence working independently, liaising with contractors and troubleshooting household technology is essential. Discretion and flexibility around the family’s schedule are key.

Accommodation: A self-contained one-bedroom flat is provided.

Working days: Five days per week. Weekend coverage is preferred, with days off during the week.

Hours: Flexibility is required when the principals and their family are in residence.

Driving: A full, clean driving licence is required.

Salary: £70,000 GPA

Start: As soon as the right couple is found.
