We are working with a female UHNW client to help hire a Travelling Personal Butler to support her between London and the South of France. This is a wonderful opportunity for a highly experienced and adaptable candidate to work closely with the Principal, following her lifestyle and travelling with her as she moves between homes.

The role is based in London all year round, with the successful candidate spending three to four months over the summer with the Principal in St Tropez. The household also has a private chef, though the chef is not always present, so the successful candidate should be comfortable preparing simple meals when needed. Candidates with a background in high-end private service or on private yachts, used to multi-tasking across housekeeping, service, and personal assistance, are particularly encouraged to apply.

Candidates will need to arrange their own accommodation in London; accommodation is provided in St Tropez during the summer months.
