A wonderful HNW family based in London is seeking an exceptional British Junior Governess to join their household on a long-term basis, supporting the education and development of their two exceptionally bright children, Girl (9) and Boy (6).

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualified teacher looking to transition into, or further develop, a career within a private household. The family's current governess is pursuing a different career path, and a comprehensive handover will be provided to ensure a smooth transition.
