Live-in House Manager

Private Estate | Suffolk

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Live-in House Manager to oversee the smooth day-to-day running and upkeep of a beautiful private estate in Suffolk. The property is occupied on a part-time basis, with visits approximately two to three times a year.

The successful candidate will therefore take full responsibility for the ongoing management, security, maintenance and presentation of the estate, ensuring it is maintained to an exceptional standard and always ready for the principal's arrival. Responsibilities will include managing and supervising household and grounds staff, coordinating contractors and suppliers, overseeing property maintenance, managing household inventories and purchasing, and ensuring the house and grounds are beautifully presented. The role will also involve overseeing guest preparations and hospitality during the principal's visits. The ideal candidate will have proven experience managing a high-standard private household or estate, excellent organisational and leadership skills, strong technological ability and a practical, discreet and hands-on approach.

A full driving licence and a genuine love of animals are essential.

Working days: Five working days across seven, with flexibility to meet the needs of the estate, including occasional weekends. This is a live-in position, with responsibility for maintaining the property throughout the year, whether or not the principal is in residence.

Salary: £55k+ gpa depending on experience.

Accommodation: A lovely, self-contained cottage on the estate is provided, with all bills paid. The accommodation is pet-friendly and welcomes a partner.

Start date: As soon as the right candidate is found.
