Travelling Butler/Assistant (ideal for yacht stewardess)

This is a great opportunity to support a UHNWI in a role that offers 1-1 proximity to the Principal. Your role will see you joining a dedicated and established international team. Additional static staff members are in place in France and Switzerland, while you accompany the Principal to all residences as required. Much time will be spent in St Tropez as the client tends to entertain more in this location. Staff cottages are available close to the main house and will be available for your use. The client also entertains several weeks a year in Switzerland.

A large part of this role is focused on wardrobe management, maintaining an up-to-date inventory using a dedicated app, rotating the wardrobe from season to season and organising specialist cleaning, repairs and alternations.

You will be responsible for all packing and unpacking of luggage, setting up ahead of the Principal’s arrival in all locations, service, personal shopping, running errands and overseeing additional staff when needed.
