About the Role:
Our Principal and his family are seeking a hands-on, practically minded Live-in Maintenance Person to support the upkeep of his private estate in Berkshire. The family is young at heart, down-to-earth and informal.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a small, long-standing estate team, including a gardening team, domestic couple (also live in) and an estate/project manager – who you will be the right-hand person to. Assisting with property maintenance, keeping an eye on contractors, and ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the estate.
The estate is in a rural location, set back in its own space, so the ideal candidate should be comfortable with countryside living.

Key Responsibilities:

• Hands-on property maintenance – remedial works, basic DIY, general upkeep of the house and estate buildings.
• Monitoring contractors & deliveries – ensuring work is completed to standard.
• Security presence – acting as on-site eyes and ears, responding to any issues (e.g., alarms).
• Flexible approach – occasional weekend requirements (e.g., emergencies).
• Driving duties – occasional drop-offs and errands (valid UK driving licence required).
• Pet-friendly – the family has dogs and a cat that may be around.

Ideal Candidate:

• Practical and skilled – experience in property maintenance, DIY, and general repairs.
• Reliable and proactive – able to work independently and as part of a small team.
• Flexible and adaptable – happy to assist with varied tasks as needed.
• Skills & tools – familiarity with property maintenance equipment.
• Physically active – suited to the hands-on nature of the role.

Accommodation & Benefits:

• A furnished 3-bedroom house within the estate grounds (near the entrance).
• Utilities covered.
• Open to a partner and pets within the home.
• Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM (with very occasional ad-hoc weekend requirements).
