Live-in-couple wanted to maintain stunning Borders estate with rent-free cottage included

If the current lockdown is making you want to escape city life, then this could be the job for you.

A new live in role has been advertised for a couple to live on-site in a stunning property in the Scottish Borders, surrounded by peace and quiet.

Advertised this week by Greycoat Lumley's, the client is looking for the pair to take over the running of the home, from cooking meals to gardening, cleaning and maintenance.

According to the agency, the client is searching for "organised, trustworthy and honest" pair, who can show long term commitment as well as experience in a similar role.

With the home owners living in the property only some of the time, the couple would maintain the site in their absence and prepare it for their return.

Slightly more secluded than inner-city life, the role is ideal for someone who enjoys a more quiet lifestyle and enjoys hobbies such as cooking and gardening.

However, other duties include tasks such as security, driving and vehicle maintenance.

As well as a £45k salary, the couple will also be able to live in a three bedroom cottage close by, provided rent free by the home owners.

If this sounds like the ideal job for you and your partner, you can find more information here.
