Role: Live-in Housekeeper
Days: Monday–Friday + half-day Saturday when Principals are in-residence

An UHNW household in Hampstead is seeking an experienced, proactive and discreet Live-in Housekeeper to support the Principals in their elegant five-storey residence.
The household is semi-formal, with high expectations for cleanliness, organisation and presentation. The right candidate will be energetic, highly organised and able to work autonomously with a strong eye for detail.
Responsibilities include all general housekeeping, meticulous laundry and ironing, wardrobe and dressing-room management, packing and unpacking for travel, maintaining well-presented living and bedroom spaces, and managing household stock and supplies. Additional duties include laying and clearing the breakfast table and preparing very simple, healthy meals (for example, boiled eggs or salads).
The household has two small, much-loved dogs. A daily dog-walker is employed, however candidates must be confident and comfortable around animals.
The Principals travel extensively for up to six months per year, and the Housekeeper will accompany them. During major travel periods such as summer and Christmas, annual leave is generally taken. Outside these periods, work is primarily based in London alongside support from a part-time cleaner.
The position offers a spacious private bedroom with en-suite bathroom and kitchenette within the family home in Hampstead.
To apply for this role, you must:
• Be eligible to work in the UK
• Hold a valid British or EU passport (with UK right to work)
• Hold or be willing to obtain a current DBS check
• Have excellent recent contactable references
• Have 3–5+ years’ private household housekeeping experience
