Days: Monday-Friday (plus half-day Saturday when Clients are in residence)
Location: Hampstead, North London
Contract: Permanent
Start: ASAP/Flexible
A lovely and appreciative HNW couple is seeking a flexible and detail-oriented Live-in Housekeeper for their large elegant residence in Hampstead.
The property is a spacious, five-storey home requiring someone active, highly organized, and self-managing. This is a semi-formal household with high standards, and the successful candidate will need to have a meticulous approach to housekeeping and manage a range of domestic tasks with discretion and professionalism.
The household includes two small beloved dogs who are treated as part of the family, so a housekeeper who adores dogs is essential (although a dog walker is employed for their daily routine).
Key housekeeping responsibilities include:
1. Laundry & ironing
2. High-level cleaning (ensuring that all living areas remain tidy, organized, and welcoming)
3. Maintaining dressing rooms
4. Wardrobe management
5. Packing/unpacking for travel
Other duties include laying and setting the breakfast table and very simple healthy meal preparation, such as boiling eggs or preparing a salad.
The clients travel extensively (up to 4 months of the year typically), meaning there is great balance in this position. They are usually away for a month during the summer and at Christmas, during which time the housekeeper will have their annual leave.
When they are in residence, the couple requires a housekeeper who can offer 5.5 days per week (Monday to Friday, plus Saturday morning), with typical hours being 7:30 am to 7:30 pm (with a 2-hour break). You will also be assisted by a part-time cleaner who visits the household a few times a week.
A lovely private accommodation is offered, which is a private spacious bedroom with en-suite within the household.
If you are a hardworking, detail-focused housekeeper looking for a long-term live-in position in a welcoming and semi-formal household, we would love to hear from you.
To apply for this role you must:
* Be eligible to work in the UK
* Have a valid passport
* Be fluent in the English language
* Have a valid DBS check or be willing to obtain one
* Have excellent contactable references
* Have 3-5+ years’ experience working as a housekeeper within a private household
