Job Description
Are you a highly dependable, meticulous, and proactive individual with a passion for maintaining pristine environments and ensuring the seamless operation of a high-end private residence? Alpha Mead Facilities, a leading integrated facility management company in Nigeria, is seeking an experienced and dedicated Live-in Caretaker for a prestigious private estate located in the vibrant heart of Yaba, Lagos. This unique opportunity offers not just a role, but a home, as it includes comprehensive room and board within the estate. As the primary custodian of this magnificent private property, you will be entrusted with the day-to-day management and upkeep of the estate, ensuring its security, cleanliness, and overall excellent condition. This is more than just a maintenance role; it’s about being the vigilant eyes and hands that safeguard a significant asset, creating a comfortable and functional living environment for its occupants.

This is a critical role that requires a high level of trust, discretion, and a commitment to providing exceptional care for a valuable private residence. If you are looking for a stable, long-term position where your dedication is valued and you can truly make a difference in the smooth running of a premium private residence, we encourage you to apply.
