We are seeking a meticulous, hands-on, and service-driven Head of Interiors to join a well-established, long-standing team in a beautifully managed UHNW private residence in the Cotswolds. This is a dynamic and varied role that blends wardrobe and personal assistance, travel and packing logistics, light F&B service, and support with household events.

-
Personal shopping, returns, and restocking luxury lifestyle items.

Running errands, booking beauty/spa appointments, and managing guest preparation.
-
Liaising with contractors and reporting defects via household management software.
-
Assisting with uniforms, staff rotas, and light housekeeping as needed.
🔹 Ideal Candidate Profile:
-
Ex-Chief/Senior Stew or experienced private household professional.
-
Polished, proactive, and discreet with a strong service ethos.
-
Comfortable with a wide range of duties, from turndown to team training.
