LIVE-IN HOUSEKEEPER REQUIRED FOR HAMPSHIRE ESTATE
A brilliant opportunity has become available for a Housekeeper to work for an UHNW family in Hampshire on a permanent, live-in basis. The family are looking to appoint a dedicated team player to join an existing household team, working alongside two senior housekeepers. The ideal candidate will have previous yachting experience, be hard-working, teachable and willing to collaboratively work with other household staff to ensure the smooth running of the property.
As a permanent residence for the principals, duties will include maintaining the home to the highest of standards all year round, including performing housekeeping tasks such as making beds, changing linens, laundry, and ironing. Service skills such as setting the table and knowledge of informal table service would be highly advantageous but are not essential.
An energetic approach and flexibility are essential for this role, as well as being child and pet friendly, as the family have two children and two medium-sized dogs – please note that no childcare duties will be required in this role. Due to the rural location of the property, being a driver with your own car is essential for the role.
Working 40 hours per week across 5 days, you will have two consecutive days off during the week, but flexibility will be required at times. Accommodation is provided in a lovely and spacious private 1-bedroom cottage, separate from the main house.
DUTIES TO INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
• Cleaning including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, changing beds, cleaning bathrooms and kitchen
• Greeting guests and offering refreshments
• Laundry care, including ironing
• Reporting any issues to the House Manager
• Pet care
• Ad-hoc duties as required
ESSENTIAL CRITERIA:
• Prior housekeeping experience within a private household or on a superyacht
• Fluency in spoken English
• Positive, professional can-do attitude
• Exacting standards and a good eye for detail
• Team player mentality
• Driving license and your own car
• Eligibility to work in the UK
• Enhanced DBS check
• Excellent checkable references
