This is a genuinely varied, practical role for someone who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems, and keeping a beautiful home running flawlessly.
Rather than a technical engineering position, this role is all about attention to detail, practical know-how, and pride in presentation. You will be the trusted go-to person for everyday repairs, preventative maintenance, and small improvement projects, working alongside a professional and discreet household team in a refined, high-standard environment.
If you’re the type of person who notices the small things, enjoys fixing what needs fixing, and likes leaving a property looking better than when you arrived, this could be a superb long-term opportunity.

1. Take ownership of the day-to-day upkeep of a prestigious private home

7. Coordinate and oversee external contractors for specialist works when required
8. Keep straightforward records of completed work and upcoming maintenance needs
9. Always work neatly, safely, and with minimal disruption to the household
10. Provide occasional out-of-hours or weekend assistance when required
About You:
11. Proven experience as a handyman, maintenance assistant, caretaker, or similar role
12. Experience in a private residence, luxury property, or high-end hospitality environment is highly desirable
13. Confident with general household electrics and plumbing (no heavy engineering required)
14. Trade qualifications or gas training are advantageous but not essential
15. Reliable, self-motivated, and comfortable working independently
16. Discreet, trustworthy, and respectful of a private household environment
17. Takes genuine pride in workmanship and presentation
18. Flexible, adaptable, and happy to muck in where needed
19. Fluent English preferred
Package & Hours:
20. Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 4:30pm
21. Flexibility: Occasional weekend or out-of-hours work when principals are in residence
22. Salary: £40,000 – £43,000 depending on experience
