Summary
Perfect Household Staff is proud to present an exceptional opportunity for an experienced and highly polished Private Housekeeper to join a prestigious private household in the heart of Mayfair, London.
Located moments from Bond Street and Green Park Underground stations — both within a two to five minute walk — this stunning property is superbly positioned and is highly accessible by public transport from across London. The role is live-out, making it an ideal opportunity for experienced domestic professionals residing in or commuting to central London.
The principal residence is a grand and beautifully maintained apartment located on the prestigious Charles Street in Mayfair, interconnecting with a second apartment within the same building. The household belongs to a distinguished private family, who divide their time between London and their overseas residences. The Mayfair estate is a true reflection of refined taste, housing a remarkable collection of antiques, silverware, and fine art pieces that require the most attentive and knowledgeable care. The surrounding area is amongst the most coveted in London, nestled between Hyde Park, Berkeley Square, and the world-renowned boutiques of Bond Street and Mount Street — a truly exceptional setting in which to build a long-term career.
The role demands an unwavering commitment to excellence, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to adapt seamlessly between the demands of a quiet household and the pace of an active family residence. Day-to-day responsibilities within such an environment typically encompass the full spectrum of housekeeping duties — from deep cleaning, laundry, and linen management to the specialist care of antiques, silverware, and luxury surfaces. When the family is in residence, the role evolves to include front-of-house support, table setting, serving at formal and informal meals, and out-serving as required. Discretion, professionalism, and the ability to work to the highest standards are essential qualities in any candidate considered for a household of this calibre
