An ultra-high-net-worth individual is looking for an experienced and hardworking Housekeeper to join an established team of three in their large private property in Kensington which consists of 4 bedrooms, spread across 5 floors. Although the property is large, only two of the five floors are used regularly with the other 3 only needing occasional maintenance.

 Your daily duties would be cleaning and tidying the residence, changing beds, cleaning bathrooms, laundry and ironing as well as ad-hoc duties such as dropping off dry-cleaning, going to the post office and anything else the principal may need. You may be required to serve light snacks and drinks on occasion so confidence with service is ideal. You should be house-proud, work quickly but to a high standard and be able to take initiative to get the job done.

The principal is hoping to find a friendly, honest and polite individual and is looking to appoint a candidate who is able to keep the house in an orderly and structured way. You should be proactive, willing to work collaboratively with the existing team and have an exceptional eye for detail. Being a team player with good communication skills is essential for this role. Working hours are Monday – Friday 8am – 4:30pm with the flexibility to do very occasional evenings and weekend work – time off will be given in lieu.  This role is ideally a live-out position, however, for the right candidate the family may consider live-in. If you do choose to live-in, the role will change to 6 days per week.

- Daily housekeeping and cleaning of the property
