A private estate in the coastal resort town of Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera is seeking a permanent live-in housekeeper to join its team on a year-round basis. The successful applicant will care for a newly renovated large residence alongside an established estate team, with premium live-in accommodation included as part of the role.
Salary and working hours
The job comes with a salary of 3,500 euros net per month, though this is dependent on experience and qualifications. According to the job listing on Greycoat Lumleys, the start date is "as soon as possible" after the right candidate is found, and the housekeeper will work between Monday and Friday each week.
The biggest perk of the position is that the successful candidate will be given premium live-in accommodation on the beach-side estate. When not working, the housekeeper has easy access to the scenery and amenities of Saint-Tropez, which is known for its beaches, luxury spas, local shops, high-end boutiques, and Mediterranean cuisine.
Role and responsibilities
The Greycoat Lumleys website states that the residence is a "vibrant family hub" between May and September. The live-in housekeeper will work alongside the house manager and other staff to cater to the principal, their immediate family, and visiting guests.
The job involves maintaining the residence to high standards of cleanliness and presentation, providing care for the family's two dogs, and ensuring the property is secure at all times. The role also includes hosting duties and providing food and drink.
Candidate requirements
Applicants should have experience in a similar position, while a full driving licence is "highly preferred" as the estate is a 10-minute drive from the town centre. French language skills are not essential, with only fluent English required.
Other attributes include loving animals, the ability to work with children, being "discreet," and being a strong team player who can communicate clearly with the existing house manager and staff. The job posting states: "Greycoat Lumleys is assisting a long-term global client seeking an experienced, hard-working, and dedicated live-in housekeeper to join a private estate located in the exclusive beach-side residence in Saint-Tropez."
This position offers a permanent, year-round role caring for a beautiful, newly renovated large residence, working alongside an established estate team. More details about the job listing can be found on the Greycoat Lumleys website.
