    Working With Us

    A Place of Purpose

    The Noble House of Brattleby — founded by Lady Nicoleta, Baroness of Brattleby, the Twelfth — is a growing organisation devoted to cultural leadership, heritage preservation, and the promotion of elegance and diplomacy in modern society. We work across the United Kingdom, Romania, and Monaco, and our charitable work extends across Europe and beyond.

    We are a small organisation by design. Every colleague is known by name, every contribution is visible, and every member of staff is treated as a professional adult. We do not micromanage; we expect excellent work delivered with discretion. We believe that the texture of an institution is decided by the way its people treat one another in private, and we hold ourselves to that standard.

    We are particularly interested in hearing from professionals with experience in events management, public relations, digital content creation, heritage conservation, multilingual communications, and cultural programme development. We also welcome speculative applications from candidates whose experience does not map neatly onto a department but whose character and skills suggest an excellent fit.

    Why Join Us

    What We Offer Our People

    Purpose

    Every role contributes to the preservation of nine centuries of heritage and to charitable work that demonstrably improves lives — from the restoration of Grade I listed buildings to the relief of children in need.

    Standards

    We work to the highest standards of quality, discretion, and personal conduct. Excellence is the baseline, not the ambition.

    Fellowship

    The Noble House of Brattleby is a small, close, professional community. Colleagues are addressed by name, treated as adults, and trusted to deliver.

    Development

    All staff are entitled to attend selected Education programmes free of charge. Internal mobility between departments is actively encouraged.

    Compensation

    Competitive salaries benchmarked against the heritage and luxury hospitality sectors. Pension, private medical cover (UK), and wardrobe allowance for client-facing roles.

    Setting

    Working environments include the London Club at Whitehall, the Corinthia in Bucharest, the Monte Carlo chapter, and remote roles.

    From Application to Offer

    Our Recruitment Process

      We take up two professional references and, for client-facing roles, a personal character reference. Offers are issued in writing, signed by the Private Secretary, and countersigned by the Baroness.

      New colleagues spend their first week shadowing across departments, are presented at the next Club gathering, and receive the staff handbook, the Members' Code of Conduct, and a copy of the Brattleby Quarterly.
