Our client is seeking a capable, warm, and proactive temporary Domestic Couple for an immediate start at a beautiful Georgian country house set within approximately 30 acres near Fakenham, Norfolk, whilst a permanent couple is sourced. The household is home to a friendly, informal family of five with three children ranging in age from 7 to 15. Life here is busy and relaxed rather than formal, and the right couple will fit naturally into the rhythm of a working family home, rolling their sleeves up, using their initiative, and becoming a genuine support to the Principal who is primarily based at home. The couple will divide responsibilities broadly between housekeeping and household management and driving, maintenance, and grounds support with both expected to be child-friendly, flexible and highly proactive. There is potential for the role to become permanent, subject to it being the right fit for both parties.
