Live-out Private Housekeeper in Central London, UK

Live-out Private Housekeeper in Central London

Our private clients, a young, busy family, are seeking an energetic and highly organised housekeeper to join their fully staffed modern townhouse in Central London.  This is a fast‑paced, lively environment with multiple floors, so the role requires stamina, initiative and a calm, unflappable approach.

The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator, able to liaise professionally with the family, the household office, contractors and vendors. You must be someone who naturally takes ownership of the role and the smooth running of the household, working collaboratively with the wider team while also managing your own responsibilities with autonomy. Supervision experience is highly desirable, though not essential, as the household team may expand in the near future and a candidate who can guide and support additional staff would be a valuable asset.

This is a wonderful opportunity to join a kind and respectful family who values professionalism, teamwork and long‑term commitment. The right candidate will thrive in a dynamic environment and take pride in ensuring the household runs seamlessly.

Candidates must have previous experience working for High-Net Worth clients and must be eligible to work in the UK
