Senor House Keeper. Kensington, Live out. Part Time, £40k


Location: Kensington


Position: Permanent


Salary: £40k


Job Type : Domestic Staff

This couple visit their home in London around three times a year.  They never lose staff as such good employers and the only reason this position is open is due to the illness of one staff member who they will not let go, so needing extra help.

 

You will ideally work from 9am to 2pm or 10am to 3pm with help from a cleaner and driver/maintenance man.  You must be aware of the age of this beautiful property which is constantly needing work so keeping your eye out for repairs.  They hate fuss and love calm and practised care, you maybe asked to cook the odd light, healthy, Mediterranean style food but the lady cooks herself so very rarely.  They bring their two lovely Corgis with them when in residence, so you maybe licked to death!

 

In short this is for an experienced Senior Housekeeper, who knows how to care for works of art, shop, anticipate needs and be highly discreet.   Someone who can also work with a long established, happy team for years to come, starting mid October.

 

How to shine:

Be experienced.

Work quietly and calmly.

Manage and Anticipate needs.

I need an up to date CV that relates to the job.

I need references and a photo.

When you send these I will tell you so much more

You will know the area and probably work quite near already so would like to add this to your portfolio of part time jobs.  There are just the two of them, newly moved in, and they ask for really high standards so you can take charge of the running of the apartment as it will be up to you as they are out all day.  Laundry, fridge organising, checking cupboards, skirtings etc. making sure all are regularly cleaned. Choose your days so they fit with others you are working, maybe just one half day or 3 hours here and 2 hours there, just tell me what you wish as they are very open.  Send a clear CV and photo please and have references available to check after we discuss the role.  From the U.S.A. this couple are here for years so a very long term role.

Cook/HK/Manager. Maida vale. Live In. £50k



Location: Maida vale

Position: Permanent

Salary: £50k


Job Type : Domestic Staff

The titled lady of great distinction and wonderful connections needs someone who can cook light nourishing food on occasions but, as she is away a great deal, this is occasionally.  The apartment is one bed and has a separate entrance and a driver would be an asset but not essential. 

What counts is your eye for detail, get rid of dead fruit in the fruit bowl, do change a light bulb that has lost it’s light and it would be so nice if the fridge was housing food from this decade, Oh, and how about flowers that are alive? In other words she wants a true professional and asks for someone with warmth as well as skill, able to serve and great guest, a person you want to see in the morning after a lovely party!   Liaise with her E.A. and the estate office. Sort out orders and deliveries and please be a good laundress.

Contact me with your good CV showing employers who loved you and a photo reflecting your housekeeping style showing you as someone you would like to be greeted and served by. Top references are essential.

2 Housekeeper/Drivers. Travel. £70k plus Bens.

Location: London / Worldwide

Position: Permanent

Salary: £70k plus Bens.


Job Type : 2 Housekeeper/Drivers

PLEASE READ THIS ADVERT CAREFULLY.  We need a Male or Female with NO ties, able to travel worldwide with an entrepreneur and racing driver.  You will drive his Bentley and other cars, housekeep, including wardrobe care and prep light snacks.  Staying in the UK for only 90 days a year you must be flexible to put it mildly, as no day is the same, highly discreet as he is an “out there” figure and you will need to match his youthful, zest for life.  If you have a place to stay in London then a UK work visa is not necessary.  Good English is.  You must have worked in this sort of job before so a chauffeur willing to housekeeper would be fine but DO NOT CALL if you are a chauffeur only, and not willing to housekeep or valet (not his car, his WARDROBE) for the gentleman.

Deeply charming, calm, understanding but very correct and well-mannered means you must be too!  Perhaps you have been a batman in our army, maybe an ex hotel housekeeper with great chauffeuring skills and happy to drive abroad, but one thing for sure being quite free, understanding designer wardrobe care and having stamina is the way to a very exciting and rewarding job.

Urgent as immediate start after references are checked.   Be sure you have superb, checkable ones please.  THANK YOU FOR READING CAREFULLY!

CALLING ALL HEAD HKs!  London £50k +bens

 

Fancy a change of career?  Well, this role encompassing Food and Beverage supervision, Provisioning, Staff Management and much more and will enhance your working life as this family office is a superb employer.  You will probably have been trained in one of London’s 5 star hotels. 

As people rarely leave this is an unusual opening due to retirement.  It could be filled by someone who has not been an F&B manager, but who has the health and safety certificate, is a strong staff motivator and leader, around 25 of them across multiple properties, who has lots of energy to move around the properties and be ready with sometimes little notice for visits.  It really would be a plus if you had been working or trained in one of London’s top 5 star hotels.  We like that experience, it is such a good grounding for the high standards needed.  Do consider this job if you have good English, aspire to a developing role and understand the luxury lifestyle.  Benefits include, private health care.
