An experienced, ultra-professional domestic couple (must be married)  are required to care for a substantial 6-bedroom villa with gardens located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The property is occupied by the Principal and his family. While the Family travels regularly, the couple will need to ensure the property is ready at any time and plan their duties around the Family’s busy schedule.

Ideally, one candidate will manage and ensure the facilities are kept to utmost standards (maintenance, exterior, staff management, procurement), while the other candidate will run the interior of the house (F&B service, housekeeping, laundry and wardrobe management). Both members of the couple should have excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills, with a hands-on attitude.

The property is already fully-staffed with 25 staff (chef, service, housekeeping, security, painter, carpenter, electrician, drivers, gardeners, etc.), who all know their job well and have been employed for many years already. Therefore, the couple will need to approach this role with a degree of diplomacy combined with a determined managerial style.
