Summary

Job Title: Housekeeper / Admin Assistant

This role will be responsible for the day to day running of laundry and housekeeping (with assistance from an in-house team) for which ever property the Principal is in residence. There may also be occasions where the role requires assistance with breakfast/lunch/dinner service, therefore experience and knowledge in various service styles is essential.

The objective of this role is to enhance and elevate the current standard of housekeeping with a disciplined focus on the Principal and his needs, across all residences. Whilst there will be a respect towards the current system in place, the objective is to dedicate time and thought in providing a housekeeping service that is bespoke to the Principal, whilst managing various administrative duties related to (but not limited to) travel arrangements, inventories and provisions.

This role will work under the supervision of the Butler, amongst a \\'Travel Team\\' of 3. The Housekeeper/Admin Assistant may be required to travel ahead of the Principal to ensure a smooth transition between properties.

The Housekeeper/ Admin Assistant will also work alongside the Wardrobe Manager to coordinate packing/unpacking for the Principal, ensuring that the Principal is informed of the relocation of any clothing items.

Efficient communication is paramount for this role, as it entails collaborating with diverse teams/departments to introduce new systems/protocols, oversee inventories, and manage provisions.

The Travel Team will occasionally journey to the Principal\\'s Yacht, where the Housekeeper/Admin Assistant may be tasked with supervising the Housekeeping Department and providing assistance with service duties.
