\n\n\nThe Ideal Candidate
\n\n• Strong practical background – carpentry experience advantageous
\n\n• Good awareness of household systems (plumbing, electrics, A/V) – not required to be an expert, but observant and proactive
\n\n• Clean, full UK driving licence – confident driving principal and family
\n\n• Well-presented and comfortable engaging directly with the principal
\n\n• Self-starter with a keen eye for detail and a ‘get it done’ attitude
