A private family is seeking an experienced, proactive and highly organised House Manager / Family Assistant/ Nanny to oversee the smooth running of their busy household.

The family has four children aged 16, 12, 7 and 2, the two younger have their own nannies; however, the successful candidate should be confident and comfortable supporting and supervising the children and working closely with the nanny team when required. The role will involve overseeing the household and staff, including two housekeepers and the nannies, as well as hiring, scheduling and training domestic staff such as housekeepers, chefs, drivers and nannies. The candidate will be responsible for coordinating and supervising external contractors, including plumbers, electricians, landscapers and pool maintenance teams, and ensuring the home is maintained to a high standard. They will also assist with making reservations, coordinating personal appointments, arranging transportation, delegating errands and generally supporting the family with their day-to-day needs. The candidate will be expected to plan and organise dinner parties, family events and holiday gatherings, as well as travel worldwide with the family when required. The family already has a cook, so cooking is not required, although the candidate should be comfortable assisting with the smooth running of meals and events.
This is a very hands-on, all-round role and the ideal candidate will be proactive, flexible, discreet, reliable and exceptionally organised, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to anticipate the family's needs. They should be confident managing staff, coordinating contractors and supporting the children and nannies, while being happy to turn their hand to whatever is required. The family employs some Tagalog-speaking staff and would be particularly interested in a candidate who speaks Tagalog or is familiar with Filipino culture, although this is not essential. Worldwide travel is required (London, Europe and the USA), so a British Passport is required
