We are looking for a switched-on, versatile fulltime Chauffeur/Butler for our UHNW client in London.

This role will be based in a beautiful apartment in Mayfair, within a small team of staff. The family already employs one dedicated Driver but are looking for someone to take on a more hybrid position within the household. Key duties will be focused around transporting the Principal, family, and occasionally guests in and around London, but around this you will be assisting with butler service and ad hoc duties inside the property.

You should hold a full, clean UK driving licence and have good knowledge of Central London, with experience in a similar position, driving Principals, family and guests in and around London. You will also have ideally driven a series of luxury cars and understand the considerations when doing so.

The Principal is predominantly based abroad but has been spending more time in their London property, so hours of work will depend on the Principal’s schedule and will be a balance of busier and quieter periods. When the Principal is in residence, you will likely be working up to 6 days per week, alternating days off with the other Driver. When not in residence, days will likely be up to 5 days per week and hours will be reduced significantly. Therefore, this role calls for someone flexible and adaptive, but offers a nice work/life balance overall.

Duties:

• Maintaining the property to a very high standard

• Anticipating the Principal’s needs

• Driving Principals and family members

• Assist in the household with butler services when required within the apartment when clients are in residence.

• Preparing and laying a formal dining table

• Preparing for guests arrival and welcoming

• Pack and unpack for travel 

• Follow procedures for guests arrival and service.

• Oversee contractors during routine maintenance checks.

• Running errands for principal as and when required.

• When clients are not in residence: Maintain and update inventories as required of all service items and cellar stock.

• Keep storage area neat and tidy.

• Ensure sports equipment is clean and maintained including golf and tennis equipment.

• Conduct weekly checks on all apartments and storage units.

To be considered for this role, you must have prior experience in a similar position, preferably in a formal household or luxury hospitality setting. You must also hold a full, clean UK driving licence.

This is a live out position, so you should live within a commutable distance from Central London.
