How might we help you to locate a butler in Canterbury?

Sailing on a yacht is the ultimate luxury experience, A synonym of uniqueness, independence and privacy. The crew is trained to the highest standards.

With over 2 decades of experience placing high calibre butlers on luxury yachts, the idea to shift yacht crew into private households came from growing demand from both yacht owners looking for the same high standards of service on their private estates, and an increasing number of candidates wishing to settle down and move ashore.

We take pride on our personal approach to recruitment. We establish long term relationships with both Clients and Candidates, thus allowing us to ensure we are placing the right people in the right roles.

We are devoted to discreet and efficient customer service, and we endeavor to streamline the recruitment journey from day one. We are rigorous in our approach to screening, verifying references and verifying qualifications before placing a candidate with a client.

What is the role of a butler in Canterbury?

We are a reputable household service agency that can connect high-quality professionals with you. We provide a completely customized service to guarantee we connect you with the best butlers when it comes to recruiting your next butler Canterbury.

A butler is a domestic worker in a large household who is the most senior member, and titles such as majordomo, butler administrator, house manager, staff manager, chief of staff, staff captain, estate manager, and head of household staff are occasionally used.

In accordance with his/her title, the employee’s responsibilities will differ somewhat, but most importantly in response to the demands of the individual employer. The responsibilities of the Butler include: organizing the duties and schedule of domestic staff, aiding with household and family security measures, overseeing family packing and travel preparations. Aid in planning and organizing house parties and events, taking resident phone calls, serving meals and drinks, as well as other wait services related.

He or she is knowledgeable about wine and spirits and is in charge of the winery’s cellar and liqueur stock.

Must liaise with other employees as needed, such as aircraft personnel, drivers, yacht crew members, and workers from other family members’ houses as well as corporate office staff.

Verify your butler is familiar with any allergies or other needs you may have. Your butler should also ensure all visitors are aware of any restrictions you may have (e.g. no smoking, no pets).

A Butler will oversee the entire household. They are responsible for hiring staff and setting their schedules; creating menus; shopping for groceries; managing staff training; maintaining the cleanliness of all house property (and sometimes exterior properties); planning activities, parties, weddings, etc.; overseeing maintenance of all systems in house to avoid emergencies; and maintaining household finances.

Your personal butler will aid you to make any necessary arrangements for traveling, including making airline, hotel or car-rental reservations.

A Butler should be faithful, discreet, and courteous to clients’ privacy. He must have a high level of skill and experience in managing a team and leading by example, always being calm under pressure and able to prioritize and delegate under pressure. Your butler is also responsible for your luggage, so he/she should be well-versed in all international luggage standards. Your butler should know where all valuables are located at all times, including passports, cash, and important papers.

A Butler in Canterbury will be required to maintain confidentiality and discretion at all times, about both the employer’s private life as well as information regarding sensitive company matters.

Butlers are responsible for planning and organizing house parties and events coordinating invitations to other family members’ houses as well as corporate office staff.

A butler must be forward-thinking, flexible, adaptable, with a lot of common sense. He must have excellent communication skills and manners. If issues arise that are simple to fix, a butler must be confident in his ability to diagnose and repair them. Look through this article if you wish to learn more about butlers salaries.

Milica and Lighthouse Careers offers an excellent, personable and professional service. Following our initial interview, Milica worked tirelessly to secure me rotational Masters role on a SuperYacht, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to fellow Captains.

I have known Milica for over a decade. In that time I have come to value her judgement and advice on Crew Recruitment. She has placed a number of candidates on my commands and she has also helped me secure my dream job! We have always had an excellent working relationship and I feel if I was more of an Antibes based Captain we would have been very good friends. I feel that she is discreet, honest and professional and that she will take this new venture on to become a reliable Crew Recruitment tool for any professional Captain.

Milica and I have known each other for several years. She never dropped her standards of recruitment over the time. Due to her industry knowledge, great candidates she has provided over the years and great sense of urgency and limitations a yacht can have, I decided to reintroduce and appoint Milica’s agency to represent our fleet of yachts in the yacht recruitment world. In no time she gained a thorough understanding of our new management structure and fleet needs. Having closely monitored her interactions with my on board teams before and during the summer season, it has certainly proved to be a great .

During current times where communication has become more and more technology-centric, Lighthouse Careers approach to call and speak one-on-one made them stand out from other Agencies. Their genuine approach and time took to sincerely listen and understand both candidates’ individual career goals, history and skillset, and the Employer’s needs, requirements and onboard crew culture resulted in a very successful match on all fronts. After securing me a new Chief stewardess role, Lighthouse Careers attention and care for detail were further reflected in presenting only high calibre candidates for that satisfied our search criteria

Milica placed me on my first yacht when I joined the industry, matching my land-based experience perfectly with the vessel. Since then, she has supported my career and seen me move to Chief Stewardess working within larger operations. She can always be relied on to send well-vetted, position-appropriate candidates. Her experience with, and knowledge of the 100m+ market, along with her focus on quality means she is the first person I call when I am looking for a role or crew.

Milica and I go back for nearly 7 years to the times when I started my journey in the yachting industry. During this time, we have been able to assist each other on various cases and tables have turned few times, depending on me looking for a new challenge (Project Sasha) or recruiting my own team (M/Y Mirgab VI, M/Y Maryah, M/Y Areti). Milica has always treated my staff requests with uttermost confidence and care. Not only she has found me some fantastic people to work with but we have also managed to handle sensitive situations with respect and dignity.

I would like to express mine at most gratitude for the placement of my current position as Interior Manager on a 100+ m yacht. All was well organised and monitored from your side. Great communication between the yacht, yourself and me. Everything was handled with confidentiality on every level. Therefore, I would like to continue working with you for all current and future crew hiring. I always get a quick response at any time of the day, evenings and on weekends. Very professional, fast, and efficient service! Many thanks for the past few years and many more to come.
