Job Description
This unique opportunity, facilitated by Career.supersecrets, calls for a diligent and experienced Caretaker to manage a prestigious private estate located in the vibrant Yaba district of Lagos. This is more than just a job; it’s a commitment to ensuring the seamless operation, pristine appearance, and overall security of a high-value residential property.

You will be the primary point of contact for all property-related matters, demonstrating exceptional problem-solving skills, a proactive attitude, and an unwavering dedication to maintaining the highest standards.
The role encompasses a broad spectrum of responsibilities, ranging from routine maintenance and repairs to supervising external vendors and ensuring the safety of the premises. We are looking for someone with a keen eye for detail, capable of identifying potential issues before they escalate, and possessing the practical skills to address minor repairs swiftly and effectively. Beyond technical competencies, strong communication skills are paramount, as you will interact regularly with the estate owners, service providers, and potentially other household staff. This position offers a stable environment for a professional who values autonomy, trust, and the satisfaction of preserving a beautiful home. The successful candidate will be someone who takes immense pride in their work, treating the estate as if it were their own, and demonstrating a high degree of integrity and discretion. Furthermore, a deep understanding of household systems, from electrical to plumbing, and the ability to troubleshoot common issues are critical. You will also be responsible for maintaining inventory of supplies, ensuring tools are in good working order, and managing petty cash for immediate needs. Regular reporting to the estate owner or designated manager is expected, providing updates on maintenance schedules, completed tasks, and any emerging concerns. If you are passionate about property care, possess a strong work ethic, and are seeking a long-term role with accommodation that values your dedication and expertise, we encourage you to explore this exceptional opening.
