A busy UHNW British family based in Notting Hill are seeking an experienced, professional Chauffeur to provide safe, reliable and discreet transport for both the principals and their children.
This is a varied, family-oriented role covering journeys to offices, business meetings, appointments, lunches, dinners and social engagements, alongside school runs and children’s activities. The successful candidate will be comfortable supporting a busy household where schedules can change throughout the day.

The family are looking for someone who can anticipate their needs, communicate clearly and respond calmly to changes while maintaining a punctual, polished service.
The household is fully staffed, with nannies, chefs and housekeepers, and a family PA overseeing logistics. The Chauffeur will work closely with the household team and family office to coordinate movements and ensure vehicles are always ready for the day ahead.
Excellent knowledge of London is essential, alongside discretion, sound judgement and a confident, considerate approach to driving. The ideal candidate will be personable and approachable with the family, excellent around children and professional when accompanying the principals to business or social engagements. Close protection, security or advanced driving experience would be highly valued.
