About this role

PERMANENT PART-TIME LIVE-OUT HOUSEKEEPER JOB KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA | LONDON |

GB SALARY

£20 - £25 GROSS PER HOUR PHS JOB 3625 A quiet, calm household belonging to a couple currently based in a beautifully renovated historical property in Kensington, a really nice part of London with lovely old houses, with a bit of a village feel even though you're only minutes from the centre of town. It's easy to get to from most parts of West London, and it's just a pleasant, calm sort of area to be working in day to day. There are no children in the home. The couple have two dogs, a Labrador and a Golden Retriever. The family previously used a cleaning service but found the standard of work inconsistent, and are now looking for a genuinely experienced, detail-oriented private Housekeeper. The family is looking for someone calm, focused and genuinely present while working, rather than rushed or distracted. They value someone who takes real pride and ownership in their work, is highly detail-oriented, and follows sensible hygiene practices. They are looking for someone experienced working independently within a private home, rather than as part of a large household staff team.
