An experienced, proactive and personable Housekeeper is sought to take day-to-day ownership of a high- standard private residence in Belsize Park, North West London.
The principal travels regularly, so the successful candidate must be equally confident working discreetly around the family and wider household team, or independently while the property is unoccupied. No cooking is required.
When the principal is travelling you will be required to attend according to an agreed schedule to keep the property clean, secure, organised and ready for use. Quieter periods should be used for deeper cleaning, laundry, storage projects and preparations for the household's return.
The ideal person will be trustworthy, observant, organised, flexible, warm and genuinely interested in a long-term position. Background checks and a non-disclosure agreement will apply.

· Prepare the home thoroughly before the principal’s arrival and restore it following periods of residence, guests or entertaining.
· Receive post, packages and deliveries; monitor household and cleaning supplies; and advise when products or equipment need replacing.
· Proactively improve household organisation and flag maintenance issues, breakages or anything unusual to the appropriate team member.
