Senior Housekeeper - Private Residence, London

We are seeking a highly capable Senior Housekeeper to join the household team of a private residence in London. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes real pride in a beautifully run home and enjoys leading a close, collaborative team. Working alongside another Senior Housekeeper, you will oversee the housekeeping team, delegate daily tasks, take charge of cooking for the household and keep the residence presented to the highest standard. The household is preparing to move to a new property, so this is an exciting time to join and help set up the new home.

The Principal values loyal staff, and many team members have been with the household for a long time. They are looking for someone who is happy to work, adapt and be versatile wherever the household needs them. As the Principal is relatively quiet, the idóneo person will be warm, kind and positive. They will be able to read the room, recognise when the Principal wants space and understand the appropriate boundaries within a private household. The Principal has a much-loved dog, so you must be comfortable and confident around dogs.
