Governess

Governess/Governor
West London
Salary: Competitive, depending on experience.
 
One of our private clients requires a governess or governor to join their private household in West London, supporting three children with their education and after-school routine.
 
The Role
This is a newly created position within a private family household, offered on an immediate basis. The family have three children — a girl of 10, a girl of 7, and a boy of 5 — who have recently relocated to London.  The children are fluent German speakers, and while their English is sufficient for school admission, further development is a key focus of this role.
 
The successful candidate will take responsibility for the children from school pick-up until approximately 6 or 7pm, with exact hours to be confirmed. There is likely to be no requirement to travel during school holidays.

• German language skills a significant advantage, though not essential
