We are seeking an experienced, polished, and highly proactive Housekeeper to oversee the immaculate upkeep of a luxury 4-bed apartment in Dubai.

Working 48 hours per week, flexibility is required to adapt to the principal’s schedule. A private apartment (separate to the main property) will be provided for the successful candidate, just 2 minutes’ walk away. Ideally, you will already have the right to live and work in the UAE.
