Perfect Household Staff are proud to be assisting a highly respected private family in their search for an experienced Head of Household to oversee the smooth running of their fully staffed home. Based initially in the area of Greater Manchester, the family are preparing for an exciting transition to a newly constructed, larger residence in September 2026. The household environment is professional yet warm, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, discretion, and long-term stability. This role will suit a candidate who thrives in structured private households and values cultural alignment, organisation, and trust.

The role will involve close collaboration with the family’s PA, with clear boundaries between business and family support, while focusing primarily on household operations, leisure coordination, and family logistics rather than corporate matters.
