We are seeking an experienced, reliable and highly organised Live-out Housekeeper to support a private family across their residences in the Marylebone and Fitzrovia area. The main property is a 3-bedroom apartment in Marylebone, used by the family during residence periods of approximately 3–4 months per year. When the family are not in residence, housekeeping support will extend to a small number of additional properties nearby, requiring lighter maintenance and upkeep. This is a varied and fast-paced role when the family are in residence, as the household includes four children (no childcare duties required).

Liaising with and overseeing household contractors when required
Basic meal preparation and simple home cooking
Unpacking and organising grocery deliveries
Ironing and wardrobe care
Ensuring all areas of the home are consistently well-maintained and presentable
Adapting workload depending on whether the family is in residence or away
Supporting smooth day-to-day household operations during busy family stays
Requirements:
Proven experience as a private housekeeper in a similar high-standard household
Strong attention to detail and pride in maintaining immaculate homes
Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple properties
Proactive and able to work independently without constant direction
Calm and efficient in a busy household environment
Flexible and adaptable to changing schedules and requirements
Comfortable working around a family with children (without childcare responsibility)
Discreet, trustworthy and respectful of privacy
Good communication skills when dealing with contractors and household support
Quiet and unobtrusive approach
Not overly dependent on instruction
