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.

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.
