The role would be to keep the house clean and well presented, beds and linen prepared, flowers in the reception rooms, the larder stocked, general maintenance, making sure the area around the house is neat and tidy, and just generally make the house a warm and welcoming place to visit.  The family keep a Labrador at the house which is currently looked after by the gardener but you may be asked to help with walks.  One, or both, of you will need to drive as this is a rural location and you will need to be able go shopping, or pick people up from stations.  A car will be available with the job. It is essential that you have worked as a housekeeping management couple in a similar role for at least 3 years with suitable references.  You will need to speak excellent English, have an eye for detail and be totally reliable.
