EH167: Full-Time Executive Housekeeper in Dubai, UAE, Mexico + Travel

A discerning British family of four seeks an experienced stewardess to take sole charge of the interior of their high-standard home in Puerta de Hierro, Guadalajara, Mexico. The household is health-conscious, active, and plant-based, and runs on British standards throughout. The role is approximately 80% housekeeping and 20% supporting the British chef with service, beverages, and kitchen turnover. Whilst there is occasional guest-facing activity, the primary focus is on consistency, attention to detail, and the reset discipline one would bring to back-to-back charters.

The schedule will be Monday-Saturday, 9am–6pm, with a one-hour paid lunch break daily (48 working hours per week). Immediate start. This is a temporary contract with a 30-day probation period and an initial term of 2–6 months, extended by agreement for up to 6 months in total. A permanent position, likely in the UAE, will be considered for the right candidate.

The successful candidate must be willing to travel nationally and internationally with the family (e.g., Mexico, the UAE, or wherever required). Travel expenses, per diem, and visa support are provided- the family plans to be based in the UAE from H2 2026.

The property comprises a 360 square metre lot with accommodation arranged over three floors: five en-suite bedrooms, guest bathroom, kitchen, pantry, laundry room, dining and bar area, two reception rooms, and a fully equipped gym. White tiled floors and glass throughout require regular cleaning to maintain guest-ready standards at all times. Duties include:
