Summary

A warm, well-mannered family based in Battersea are seeking a professional and reliable live-out Housekeeper to join their household. The family home is a spacious property with six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a patio garden, maintained by a gardener. The family also maintain a small two-bedroom flat in Chelsea, requiring housekeeping twice weekly. With three grown children away at university, the household is now calmer and more structured, offering a pleasant working environment.

The family value discretion, respect, and long-term working relationships – their previous housekeeper remained with them for many years before retirement.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced private Housekeeper who can work independently while following clear instructions from the household manager. The position involves general and deep cleaning, laundry, ironing, and ensuring the home is consistently well-presented. The role also includes light household support such as accepting deliveries, liaising with contractors (builders, gardeners), and occasional shoe polishing.

The professional should be proactive, trustworthy, and happy to care for the family’s two friendly dogs, including occasional walks.

Only candidates who have the eligibility to work in the UK will be considered for this role.
