Due to recent growth of the company we have an exciting new opportunity for a full time, long-term member of staff to work alongside the existing recruitment team!

Background
We provide a specialist service in domestic staff recruitment and domestic staff training. Based in Mayfair, London, we work with a global network of clients in private homes, hotels, restaurants, chalets, and yachts. We approach our services from a unique and fresh perspective.

Location
Due to COVID-19 we are allowing full remote working. You should be happy to be working on UK time zone, and factor in your hours during normal office hours. Should you be based near to West Berkshire, you will be close to a number of the team members who work full time with the company. Once COVID-19 has become managed, we would like you to commit to one day a week (Wednesday) team day at the CEO office in West Berkshire.
Days/Hours
Monday to Friday, 9am - 5:30pm. Plus 1 hour additional flexi time each day (including the weekends) to respond to comments and engage with users (first thing, mid day, and late evenings). During the first month you will be expected to do daily training days with us during your working hours in person, so you need to be able to commute to a team member's house in Thatcham for your training. This will then shift to remote working when you are up to speed.
