- Creating rotas and training
- Deep cleaning

Due to the nature of the role, the candidate will need to speak French or have a strong understanding of it. The household predominantly speaks French as well as English, however, all contractors will speak French.
The role is Wednesday to Sunday with Monday and Tuesday off. The hours will be flexible depending on how busy the day is. The client does travel a lot, so if they aren’t in residence, the candidate from time to time won’t need to work over the weekend.
The ideal candidate will be able to work smoothly within a team, cleanliness to the highest of standards and be proactive rather than reactive.
