Live-In Housekeeper - London
Beautiful Private Family Home | £50,000 per annum | Live-In
A lovely opportunity has arisen for an experienced Housekeeper to take sole charge of a beautiful private family home, ensuring it is always maintained to an exceptional standard and ready for the Principal and guests.
This is a highly trusted, hands-on position for someone who takes real pride in their work, enjoys creating an immaculate and welcoming home, and is confident managing the day-to-day housekeeping of a high-end residence independently.
The role would suit someone with experience from a private estate, superyacht or 5-star hotel environment, who understands discretion, exceptional standards and the importance of anticipating what is needed before being asked.
The Role
You will be responsible for the smooth day-to-day housekeeping of the property, including:
- Full housekeeping and presentation of the residence
- Laundry, ironing and wardrobe care
- Maintaining bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas to an exceptional standard
- Ensuring the house is beautifully prepared for the Principal, family and guests
- Managing household supplies and maintaining excellent organisation
- Liaising with contractors or external suppliers when required
- Caring for high-quality furnishings, fabrics and finishes
- Supporting guest stays and busier periods within the household
- Taking ownership of the property when the Principal is away
This is a sole-charge role supporting the House Manager, so confidence, initiative and excellent organisation are essential.
Travel Opportunity
There may also be the opportunity to travel internationally with the Principal.
For the right person, this offers an exciting opportunity to work in beautiful locations and experience a more varied private-service lifestyle. Travel periods will be busy and demanding, so flexibility and stamina are important, but for someone who enjoys travel and thrives in a fast-moving environment, it could be a fantastic part of the role.
About You
We would particularly love to hear from candidates with backgrounds in:
- Superyachts, particularly experienced Stewardesses / Senior Stewardesses
- Private estates or UHNW households
- 5-star hotels or luxury hospitality
You will ideally be:
- Immaculate in your standards
- Highly organised and self-motivated
- Discreet, trustworthy and professional
- Naturally service-minded
- Confident working independently
- Warm, adaptable and calm under pressure
- Happy to be genuinely hands-on
- Flexible around the changing needs of a private household
