Our client, a family of 8 who reside in Riyadh, are seeking an experienced Governess / Nanny who preferably speaks and writes excellent English and ideally speaks another language (French, Italian or Spanish) as well. Please note for cultural reasons, the candidate must be female.

The family currently have 15 household staff including another Nanny. You should preferably have experience of working in the Middle East, although this is not essential. It is, however, key that you have worked with children of a similar age - the girl is 8 years old and the boy 3 years old. (The family also have older children).

Your duties will be to oversee and look after every aspect of the two children, teaching them through educational activities within the residence and outside. You should have a minimum of 3-5 years' experience in a similar role.

The residence is fully staffed so there is no requirement for housekeeping except for ensuring high standards of hygiene and clean, tidy bedrooms for the children.

The family tend to travel during the summer months but are otherwise in full-time residence in Riyadh.

A candidate with a caring, positive, and fun nature with the relevant skills and experience will be welcomed by the family.

Days of work: 6 days per week
Hours of work: 12 hours daily

Accommodation: own bedroom and bathroom in the same location as the main residence but a different building

Salary: circa £40,000 depending on experience to date
