You will learn about rural life in a large family house. I am involved in charity work and with the local community. You will meet people from all walks of life. You will experience Scotland by being part of the way of life so will learn far more about the culture than you would as a tourist.
I am looking for ideally an extra pair of hands. Helping with country life in a beautiful Victorian House in South West Scotland.
I would not ask you to do anything I would not do myself.
You must like and be happy with Children and animals. An experienced horse rider would be a great help.
I need a car driver
