A staffed UHNW household in Englefield Green is seeking an experienced Housekeeper with strong Butler/service experience to join their established team
Working as part of a small, dedicated household team led by a Head Housekeeper/House Manager, this is a hands-on role combining polished, anticipatory food & beverage service, a confident front-of-house presence and high-standard housekeeping. Duties include daily cleaning, laundry and ironing, wardrobe and clothing care, packing and unpacking, alongside formal table setting and food & beverage service. Candidates should be confident in sequence of service, table setting and clearance, wine service and formal service etiquette, with the flexibility to move seamlessly between front-of-house service and housekeeping duties
The schedule is five days per week on a rota basis, including at least one weekend day. Hours will vary according to household requirements, with some early starts from 6.30am and occasional later evening finishes

Candidates must:
- Have 3–5+ years’ experience as a Private Housekeeper, Butler or Yacht Steward/Stewardess
