Thurgau, Switzerland - Domestic Couple
A Domestic couple is being sought for a well-known client in Eastern Switzerland. The Principals are largely retired and live in a beautiful property in Thurgau with land and gardens. They have children and a small household staff. The current couple has worked for them for the last three years and is changing positions due to family health issues. It is essential that any applicants speak good German and hold either an EU passport or a Swiss work permit.
Duties and responsibilities of the Domestic couple are as follows
Housekeeping: Cleaning and oversight of all household areas, working in coordination with the existing housekeeper.
Laundry: Washing and ironing.
Groceries & Kitchen Support: Occasional errands, monitoring pantry and fridge stock, and working closely with our chef to ensure the main kitchen is always well stocked.
Facility Management: One of the two should have strong technical knowledge and act as a hands-on Facility Manager. This includes overseeing other external properties, handling maintenance needs, and keeping everything running smoothly. The family hopes to find someone who is organised and structured but also practical – a true handyman who can build, repair, and approach tasks logically.
Security: Candidates should demonstrate general security awareness and ensure that third parties are overseen and treated with care and hospitality and that they are discreet.
Flexibility: The couple would be required to live on-site and must sometimes be adaptable with their working hours. (Swiss working hours and labour law will be respected)
Additional Responsibilities: Occasional dog care when the family is away, as well as driving duties such as airport transfers or other requested trips.
Driving: From time to time, they may also be asked to pick up or drop off the children at their hobbies or keep an eye on them for a few hours when the family is away (more supervision than babysitting).
