FULL-TIME HOUSEKEEPER REQUIRED FOR UHNW CLIENT
We have a great opportunity available for a dedicated Housekeeper with a positive, can-do attitude to work for an international ultra-high-net-worth family in the Central London home. Working collaboratively with a senior housekeeper and reporting to the House Manager, you will be jointly responsible for the daily cleaning and upkeep of this luxury property.
You will have good knowledge of cleaning products and know how to care for fine furnishings and fabrics. Energetic and flexible in your approach, you will have excellent attention to detail and the ability to preempt needs, ensuring that the principals’ expectations are exceeded. Other duties will include assisting with table service and laundry care when needed, as well as errand running. The ideal candidate will be attentive, well-presented and have a strong work ethic and positive attitude as well as being very friendly and personable, whilst still remaining discreet and boundary.
The principals are in residence about 75% of the year, when you will be working 6 days per week on a rolling rota pattern. There are different shifts in the house, which will generally either start at 9am or 11am, though you might also be required to work the later afternoon/evening shifts from time to time, depending on the principals’ schedule. When the family are not in residence, there will be more flexibility with working days and hours.
DUTIES TO INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
• Cleaning including dusting, hoovering, mopping, changing beds, cleaning bathrooms
• Preparing the house for the principals’ arrival, setting up bedrooms, bathrooms etc.
• Caring for artworks, silver, antiques etc.
• Assisting with table service and food & beverage service
• Assisting with laundry and ironing
• Ad-hoc errand running
• Liaising with other staff members to ensure the smooth running of the household
ESSENTIAL CRITERIA:
• Prior Housekeeper experience in a private household
• Fluency in English both spoken and written
• Hardworking and dedicated
• High attention to detail
• Flexibility with hours and duties
• Team player
• Trustworthy and reliable
• DBS checked or willingness to obtain a DBS check
• Excellent checkable references
