House Manager, Oxfordshire, circa £70k gpa + accommodation

A private family with a real passion for design and nature is looking for a House Manager to run their historic country home. The property is certified organic, with working gardens and a relaxed, family-first atmosphere.

Sustainability and thoughtful sourcing are central to how the household operates.
