Our clients in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, are seeking a kind Governess for G9 and B11.

The children are due to start at an English-speaking school but only speak basic English at the moment, so the right candidate must be a fluent English speaker with bags of patience who can support the children with their general learning whilst helping them to improve their English.

The role involves occasional travel and is offered on a live-in basis, with separate accommodation provided.

Ideally the candidate would already be based in Saudi Arabia and able to start immediately, but the family will consider candidates from elsewhere and offers support with Visas and flights.

Someone who speaks a second language (ideally French or Spanish) would be a plus.

Duties include but are not limited to:

• Helping the children to improve their English
• Assisting with homework
• Encouraging good manners
• Creating a structed yet fun environment for the children
• Travelling with the family (occasionally)

Essential skills required:

• Fluent English speaker, ideally with a second language
• Previous experience as a Governess with similar ages
• Pet friendly - the family has a dog

Contract Length: Permanent (live-in)
Start Date: ASAP

Children: B9, G11
Working Days: 6 days per week (one day off on the weekend)
Working Hours: Afternoons & evenings (and ideally 0.5h in the mornings to help get the children out of the house, though this is not necessary)

Salary: Circa £62,000 gross per annum
