Private Staff, PA, Yacht & Ski Vacancies
Travelling Stewardess/Butler
We are recruiting an experienced Stewardess/Butler for a travelling position. The role will be based in London, with frequent travel to properties in the south of France and Switzerland. The ideal candidate will have a yacht crew background and bring the flexibility and range of skills the yacht industry demands. This client owns a yacht (Riva) with four crew which is primarily used in St Tropez with a seasonal two week trip to Sardinia. This client entertains frequently, particularly during the summer months and at the chalet in Gstaad.
This is a great opportunity to support a UHNWI in a role that offers 1-1 proximity to the Principal. Your role will see you joining a dedicated and established international team. Additional static staff members are in place in France and Switzerland while you accompany the Principal to all residences as required. Much time will be spent in St. Tropez as the client tends to entertain more in this location (both at the house and onboard the boat). Staff cottages are available close to the main house and will be available for your use. The client also entertains over the winter months in Switzerland.
A large part of this role is focused on wardrobe management, maintaining an up-to-date inventory using a dedicated app, rotating the wardrobe from season to season and organising specialist cleaning, repairs and alternations.
You will be responsible for all packing and unpacking luggage, setting up ahead of the Principal’s arrival in all locations, service, personal shopping, running errands and overseeing additional staff when needed.
