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.
In order to apply for some of these roles, you may need to have a valid UK working visa. For more information and to check if you qualify, take a look at our UK Working Visa Guide here.

If you’ve not worked in the UK before, or want to find out if you’re even able to, it can be hard to find the answers. Even if the job you’re applying for is based in a ski resort in the Alps, a palace in the Middle East or a Private Household in Europe, you still may need UK immigration to give you the right to work here because as a UK-based recruitment agency the majority of our clients are also based here and so employ their staff on UK contracts and second them overseas on UK work permits.
