We are working with a private client residing at One at Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, to assist in hiring a full-time Female Butler / Cook. This is a wonderful opportunity to join an intimate, well-run household in one of Dubai's most prestigious addresses, supporting a professional couple with a clear and consistent routine.
The role is primarily hands-on and operational in nature, combining polished butler service with daily meal preparation for a principal who follows a structured and health-focused dietary plan. The candidate will work alongside an existing maid, overseeing their day-to-day duties to ensure the smooth running of a beautifully maintained 300 sqm residence.
As the principals are frequently away due to professional commitments, the successful candidate must be highly self-motivated, discreet, and able to maintain the highest standards independently. This is a live-out position based in Dubai, and the successful candidate must be comfortable working within a structured household with clear expectations.
Key Responsibilities

- Ensure the residence is immaculately presented at all times.
- Run personal errands for the principals as required.
- Manage household supplies and grocery procurement, with particular attention to fresh produce and dietary staples.
- Liaise professionally with external suppliers and service providers when necessary.
- Maintain the highest levels of discretion and confidentiality at all times.
- Ensure the home is always guest-ready and maintained to an exceptional standard.
Ideal Candidate
- Female as requested by the client.
- Previous experience as a butler or household manager, ideally within a UHNW or luxury private household environment.
- Confident and capable cook, comfortable preparing simple, healthy meals to a consistently high standard.
- Ability to follow a set meal plan precisely, with strong attention to detail in portioning and preparation.
- Experience managing or supervising household staff.
- Immaculate presentation and professional manner.
- Proactive, reliable, and able to work with a high degree of autonomy.
- Strong communication skills and a calm, adaptable approach.
- Discreet, loyal, and respectful of the principals' privacy and routines.
- Must be based in Dubai.
Package
- Working schedule: 6 days a week.

- 30 days' holiday per annum.
- Salary: 15,000 AED – 20,000 AED net per month.
