  • Opportunity to travel with the family for up to six weeks per year (two week periods to Sardinia and St Moritz)
  • Able to run the house alone when the family are away
  • Support with engineers and contractors on site
  • Maintain a direct and open working relationship with the House Manager
  • Prepare the house when a family member comes to London (even for short stays) and manage their visit end-to-end

Requirements

  • Strong housekeeping experience in UHNW households with verifiable references
  • A capable cook (essential) – able to create varied family style meals
  • Comfortable and confident working in close proximity to Principals
  • Exceptional attention to detail with a genuine understanding of luxury standards
  • Proactive personality – able to anticipate needs without being asked
  • Confident, warm demeanour with excellent communication skills
  • Professional, discreet and highly motivated
  • Right to work in the UK
