An experienced and dedicated couple (m/f/d) to manage the household is sought for an architecturally impressive estate situated between Darmstadt and Frankfurt am Main. The residence is idyllically situated in the countryside, nestled within park-like grounds, and offers an exceptional standard of living. The family of five – comprising the parents and three teenage children – is looking for a warm-hearted housekeeper and a property manager who will look after the estate with care and understanding.

Your tasks:

• Basic cleaning
• Laundry care
• High-quality textiles
• Ironing
• Knowledge of materials (extended)
• Cooking
• Late-evening dog-walking service
• Household management
• Silver care
• Stockpiling
• Service
• Organisation of external service providers
• Coordination / supervision of tradespeople

As a couple working as housekeepers, you will take charge of the entire running of the household with both heart and mind. Your duties will include the careful maintenance of high-quality materials and furniture, the professional care of textiles, and the expert ironing of the wardrobe. Particular emphasis is placed on knowledge of materials, as exclusive materials have been used in the house which require special care.

The family prefers a healthy, fresh and sustainable diet. You are therefore expected to enjoy cooking fresh meals and to use seasonal, regional, organically grown produce. Tending to the family’s vegetable garden and preserving seasonal produce are just as much a part of your duties as baking.

There is a child- and animal-friendly atmosphere (chickens, horses) on the estate. The team also includes five gardeners and a caretaker. During events, you will be the on-site point of contact for external service providers.

We offer:

• Permanent position
• Attractive remuneration
• Harmonious working environment in an upscale private household
• Working independently with a high level of responsibility
• Accommodation in a separate caretaker’s cottage
• Working hours from Monday to Friday,
• Once a month at the weekend by arrangement

In addition to professional experience, the couple should demonstrate a degree of flexibility, a well-groomed appearance and good manners. Discretion, independence and a strong sense of responsibility round off the profile. A driving licence is also required, as getting to the property requires good mobility.

Career changers from professions such as hotel specialist, restaurant specialist, chef, housekeeper, concierge, facility manager, property manager, event manager, master farmer or horse farmer are also welcome to apply
