This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small, long-standing estate team, including a gardening team, domestic couple (also live in) and an estate/project manager. You will be the right-hand person to the estate/project manager, assisting with property maintenance, keeping an eye on contractors, and ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the estate.

• Flexible approach: occasional weekend requirements (e.g., emergencies).
• Driving duties: occasional drop-offs and errands (valid UK driving licence required).
• Pet-friendly: the family has dogs and a cat that may be around.

Ideal Candidate:

• Practical and skilled: experience in property maintenance, DIY, and general repairs.
• Reliable and proactive: able to work independently and as part of a small team.
• Flexible and adaptable: happy to assist with varied tasks as needed.
• Skills & tools: familiarity with property maintenance equipment.
• Physically active: suited to the hands-on nature of the role.

Additional Information:

• A furnished 3-bedroom house within the estate grounds (near the entrance).
• Utilities covered.
• Open to a partner and pets within the home.
• Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM (with very occasional ad-hoc weekend requirements).
