Domestic Couple Job and Vacancy
A flexible and dynamic couple with a can-do attitude is required to work in a beautiful 18th century property located near Grasse, in the south of France.
The property consists of ten bedrooms with bathrooms, eight in the main house and two in a separate wooden chalet; there is also a garden, a swimming pool, a tennis court and a playground.
The house is occupied about five or maximum six months of the year, and is busy with guests mainly in the summer and over Christmas.
When the house is fully occupied, additional help may be brought in as required and much of the garden work is separately organised.
The right candidates should enjoy living the countryside, appreciate the property and take care of it as if it were their own. They must have a positive, pro-active attitude, love service and be willing to go an extra mile to please the Principals and their guests.
It is vital to be completely flexible about hours and accept that very long hours are often required when guests present.
