Job Specifications

A couple who love everything to do with the countryside are sought for a position near

Marlborough, Wiltshire.  The duties will be split in a fairly traditional manner by way of a housekeeper/cook (cooking required mainly for the gentleman when his wife is away and not every day) and a driver/handyperson with the main focus to be on the house rather than garden as this is already looked after.  There will be some driving to airports and into London too but if the successful candidate is not familiar with these routes they will be advised.  Care of a number of cars is important for this role.  If the successful couple are happy to run occasional dinner parties together that would be an advantage.  There are other staff and so the successful couple will really be the lynchpin between all elements of running this working farm and shoot.  There will be some care of the dogs, ducks and chickens when the principals travel as well as an eye to the security of the main house.  A spacious three bedroom cottage is offered as the accommodation and comes with a large garden.  The principal would accept a well behaved dog also as long as it gets along well with their dogs.
