Live-In Housekeeper / Couple
Luxury Private Villa | SpainPosition Overview
An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced live-in housekeeper or couple to join a distinguished family at their stunning new luxury villa in Spain. This is an ideal position for dedicated professionals seeking long-term employment with a family who values loyalty, excellence, and mutual respect.
The Property
Located in a prestigious gated community, this substantial newly built villa offers:
- An idyllic, secure coastal location
- Within easy reach of the airport and Spain Town
- Large swimming pool and fully equipped gym
- Four spacious external terraces with limited garden areas (90% paved surfaces)
The Family
The family consists of a couple and their two adult children. For much of the family's time in residence it is just the couple. Occasional visits from extended family or friends for long weekends are expected, with the property at full capacity for approximately 2 weeks annually.
Staff Accommodation & Benefits
The successful candidate(s) will enjoy:
- A well-appointed, brand-new, air-conditioned one-bedroom apartment at ground floor level
- Independent living space with private lounge, kitchen, bedroom, and separate driveway
- Use of a car for personal use
- Competitive market-rate salary for Spain
- Spanish employment contract with full compliance to Spanish labour law
Key Responsibilities
- Comprehensive housekeeping of the villa to the highest standards
- Basic cooking and meal preparation
- Pool maintenance and limited garden/terrace upkeep
- Occasional chauffeuring duties
- Property management during the family's absence
The Ideal Candidate
We are seeking an exceptional individual or couple with:
- Extensive experience in live-in domestic positions, particularly within high-net-worth or luxury households
- Demonstrable loyalty and longevity in previous roles (minimum 3–5 years with previous employers preferred)
- Impeccable references from previous employers
- Meticulous attention to detail and pride in maintaining exceptionally high standards
- Discretion, trustworthiness, and professional demeanor
- Flexibility and adaptability, particularly during peak occupancy periods
- Self-motivation and ability to work independently during the family's absence
- Valid driver's license
Working Pattern
This position offers an exceptional work-life balance:
- When the family is away, the focus shifts to property management and upkeep
- Couple in residence: standard housekeeping duties
- Family of four: approximately 4 weeks per year
- Property at capacity with guests: approximately 2 weeks per year (additional temporary staff provided during these periods)
Hours will comply fully with Spanish employment law, with flexibility required during guest periods (maximum 4 weeks annually). Additional housekeeping or cooking support will be provided when the property is at full capacity.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is truly a career-defining opportunity offering:- Long-term security with a family who values and rewards loyalty
- An exceptional work-life balance with significant periods of lighter duties
- Beautiful, brand-new living accommodation in a stunning Mediterranean location
- The opportunity to be part of establishing household standards from the outset
- Privacy and independence with your own separate living quarters
- Working with a respectful, considerate family with realistic expectations
Please Note:The villa is not within walking distance of town or supermarkets, making driving ability advantageous. However, candidates without a driving license will still be considered.How to Apply
If you are an experienced, dedicated professional seeking a rewarding long-term position with an exceptional family in one of the Mediterranean's most desirable locations, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please submit your CV along with detailed references from previous employers.
