We are seeking an energetic, educated and highly organised Governess / Tutor to support a young child within a busy private family based in the UK, within easy reach of London. This is an exciting new position for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle, has a genuine passion for education and personal development, and can bring a range of skills, interests and experiences to a child's everyday life.

The child is curious, enthusiastic and always keen to be doing something, whether learning a new skill, taking part in sports, exploring new interests or attending after-school activities. The ideal candidate will be someone who can keep up with this energy, encourage curiosity and independence, and introduce new experiences that support the child's learning and development.

Job Title: Governess/ Tutor

Location: London

The successful candidate should be resourceful and forward-thinking, always looking for new opportunities and experiences that will keep the child engaged and encourage them to develop new interests and life skills.

Excellent organisational and IT skills are essential. The candidate must be highly tech-savvy and confident using digital tools, calendars, apps and planning systems to manage a busy schedule, coordinate activities, keep track of appointments and commitments, and ensure everything runs smoothly.
