Live-in Domestic Couple in Switzerland

A UHNW couple is seeking an experienced and refined Domestic Couple to join their private household, primarily based in St. Moritz, Switzerland, with regular travel to Saint-Tropez (France) and occasional international travel (including Europe and South Africa).

The principals are a well-established couple with grown-up children who do not reside at the property. The household is fully staffed and operates to a high, formal standard, including a long-standing private chef (over 20 years) who is now departing.

The family is therefore transitioning to a domestic couple structure, where at least one (ideally both) candidates are confident cooks / chefs, capable of delivering high-quality, healthy, and well-presented cuisine on a daily basis.

This is a long-term position, ideally suited to candidates seeking stability and a role for many years within a respectful and well-organised household.

• Coverage required across 7 days per week (shared between the couple)
