EXPERIENCED DAILY HOUSEKEEPER REQUIRED FOR UHNW FAMILY IN MARYLEBONE
Location: Marylebone
Salary: £44,000 per annum, negotiable
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Status: Live-out
An experienced, hardworking, and proactive Housekeeper is sought to support a busy UHNW family of three in their large 4-bedroom family home in Central London. The role offers great variety, so would suit a versatile candidate who enjoys undertaking a range of duties as part of their daily role. Working alongside another full-time housekeeper, you will be a dedicated and energetic team player with a can-do attitude, and a calm, personable nature.
Duties will include cleaning and tidying bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas to a high standard, as well as packing/unpacking for the family, and assisting with laundry and ironing. As part of the role, you will prepare breakfast for the family, lay and clear the table and tidy up the kitchen/dining areas following breakfast.
