The Chace People team is actively looking for a dynamic part-time Housekeeper for a professional couple at their 2,400 sqft West London home.

Laundry and Wardrobe Management:

 

  • Operate and manage the washer and dryer.

  • Handle delicate fabrics with care.

 

Cleaning:

 

  • Vacuuming and mopping floors.
  • Dusting and polishing surfaces.
  • Cleaning marble surfaces in the kitchen and ensuite bathrooms, as well as caring for fine and delicate fabrics.

  • Running errands, such as to the dry cleaners.
  • Assisting in packing and unpacking suitcases before and after travel.
  • Purchasing general household items as required.

VVIP European/American family, based at a large 6 storey townhouse in Belgravia. This is a secondary residence for the family now as the children are all grown up and have moved abroad and so the main Principals are in residence less and less, but require a full-time, live-in Housekeeper to look after their home. They are really wonderful Principals to work for and their most recent full-time Housekeeper, a lovely Filipina, who is also one of our candidates, was with them for 14 years and has only left as she wanted to move part-time. 
 
You would be working alongside a long-standing laundress and handyman, so your duties will be focussed around the highest standards of housekeeping, cooking and dog care (they have three lovely dogs; a cocker spaniel, a labrador and a pomeranian). They are looking for a professional housekeeper who has an understanding of working within UHNW households and who has a high attention to detail and level of common sense.
 
The Housekeeper will cook for the family and will cook enough for herself to eat in her own quarters. 
 
Perosnality profile: must take initiative, have common sense, be resourceful and with a high level of emotional intelligence.
 
Drivers would be a bonus but not a prerequisite.
 
Accommodation is a very private basement flat with its own entrance, and staircase to the main living floors of the residence. There is an ensuite double bedroom, a private kitchen and living/dining area for the housekeeper. The laundry room is located on this floor and the family's gym, however the family has a separate entrance to the gym and they do not need to go through the staff flat.
