Butler – St Andrews, Scotland – Permanent

An affluent and UHNW family have recently purchased a large residence in St Andrews, Scotland. The family are very formal so are looking for experienced staff who’ve worked in similar environments before. As this is a new residence it is a great opportunity for an experienced Butler who is looking for a challenge. You will be managing and assisting the house manager with the management of the footmen and you will help create structures to ensure the smooth running of the property.

What to Expect Working as a BUTLER

Working as a Butler within a Private Household can be a fantastic long-term career for those who enjoy providing a high level of dedicated service. The responsibilities of a Butler will vary depending on the formality of the house. You will be front of house most of the time and be on hand to assist the family whenever they require. You will often lay the dining table, serving drinks and all meals. You will sometimes assist the housekeeping team with daily cleaning of the property, you will often valet the vehicles, you will often manage the wardrobes. You will sometimes look after a wine cellar or an art collection.

Each Personal Butler job will be different house to house and the range of duties can be varied and extensive so you must be flexible and willing to do whatever is required of you. Some Butlers are expected to travel with the family. You may be working in a formal white glove household and responding to a bell or you may be in a much more relaxed home where your level of service is professional but personable.

You must be willing to adapt to each house you work in and ensure the family is comfortable in your presence.
