A distinguished gentleman of refined taste and high standards is seeking an exceptional Female Butler to support the smooth running of his private residences in Bahrain. He is a mild-mannered, true gentleman who values discretion, polish, and seamless service above all.

This is a service-led, live-in position based across private residences in Bahrain. The Female Butler will be the most senior member of the live-in household team and will report directly to the Chief of Staff.
The ideal candidate will be equally comfortable being visible and present when required, and discreet and unobtrusive when not. She will have an intuitive understanding of her principal’s mood, preferences, and routines, and will anticipate needs before they are expressed.

At Morgan & Mallet, we’ve seen remarkable career trajectories.
As Laurine our cofounder shared: “One candidate began as a valet, progressed to butler, then head butler, and became a house manager when their employer, the president of a country, finished their term and retained their staff.” This is very satisfying for us to see as a company.

At Morgan & Mallet, we support your career progression. Whether you’re an under butler looking for your first solo placement or a head butler ready to manage a multi-property household, we match you with families who value your expertise.
Morgan & Mallet has placed butlers in London townhouses, Florida estates, Monaco penthouses, Dubai villas, and private islands worldwide. We understand what makes a successful butler placement: matching skills, personality, lifestyle expectations, and long-term career goals.
Our co-founder Morgan worked as a butler before entering household staff recruitment managing high-net-worth clients who expected perfection. That same standard applies to our butler placements.
At Morgan & Mallet, we don’t rush. We’ve found that butler placements need thought, personality fit, family culture, lifestyle expectations, and long-term compatibility.
We’ve seen butlers stay with families for 5, 10, even 20+ years. Those placements succeed because we take time to ensure the fit is right from the start.
Our clients include entrepreneurs, royalty, celebrities, and business leaders across the US, UK, Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
As Morgan notes: “Every country in the world has wealthy people, and we place butlers everywhere, from Europe to the US, Middle East, and even Africa, Russia, Iran, Iraq. Families find us online, and we’ve built a reputation for placing the best candidates.”
Post-COVID, demand for in-home services has exploded. As Morgan explains again: “People now want all the services at home. They organize more private events. When you have a private butler, you don’t need to go to restaurants and show yourself outside. You can host private dinners at home, better privacy, especially for VIPs discussing business.”
We understand this change and we recruit candidates who do too.
