As each day is varied, you'll need to think on your feet...and it helps to be light on them too as clients often enjoy a dance following afternoon tea.A good pair of eyes and ears are essential. Ears to listen to a lifetime's worth of stories and eyes to help them find their things if they've been misplaced! You don't have to be a Michelin star cook but being able to make a cuppa "just right" is essential. We don't wear uniforms (it's friendlier that way) but you must be prepared to roll up your sleeves to cook in the kitchen or bring in some flowers from the garden!
