HN375 - Full-Time Butler - NY & CA
British American Household Staffing
Westchester, New York
A client based in New York and who resides a portion of the year in California is seeking a superlative professional butler. This role will involve being based in Westchester, NY with time spent in Southampton, NY during summers and Bay Area, CA during winters. 4-5 months of the year will involve working 2-3 weeks in CA and then having 2-3 weeks off, so this is a rotational role for a good part of the year. When in NY, the role will be a regular work schedule with 5 days on and 2 days off. For both CA & NY, the schedule needs to be very flexible but will be split up into 2 shifts a day, working either the morning shift from 6am-2pm, or the midday/evening shift from 2pm-9pm. For NY, the schedule is done in advance but does change for the days of the week, however, the schedule will be 2 consecutive days off and 5 days on.
Typically, while on a rotation, butlers can expect to work 5-6 days straight with 1-2 days off.
The client won't pay for relocation. Ideally, the candidates are already in commuting distance to Westchester or Menlo Park.
Responsibilities:The job duties will include, but are not limited to:
• Serving the client (husband and wife) and their guests
• Working closely with culinary and housekeeping teams
• Place setting and clearing
• Beverage service
• Guest reception
• Caring for linens
• Household errands
• The candidate to hire will need to be available for potential travel; the client also will spend some time in Arizona for a few weeks
- The candidate to hire must have a calm demeanor. Note: this will be vetted for during the interview process by the client’s hiring team. Being all over the place with answers or too energetic in the sense of not having a discretionary calm won’t work for this role as they are seeking a professional, poised, and discretionary butler; a high caliber of professionalism exemplified in resume, during interview processes, and within the household. Thank you!
- Salary is between $120k-140k with the higher side of that range for California employees. They also offer a discretionary bonus at end of year plus benefits and 401K. Role is eligible for overtime.
