The household is looking for someone who understands five-star housekeeping standards and takes real pride in maintaining a home to an impeccable standard. From keeping everything beautifully organised and presented to managing laundry, wardrobe care and the general day-to-day running of the home, no detail should be overlooked.

There will also be some additional support required during November and August, when the family would appreciate help looking after their two much-loved dogs. So, a genuine love of dogs and someone who is happy to lend a hand with their care during these periods would be a real bonus!

• Managing all laundry, ironing and wardrobe care.
• Keeping cupboards, storage areas and household spaces beautifully organised.
• Caring for delicate fabrics, furnishings and finishes.
• Ensuring the home is always guest-ready and beautifully presented.
• Helping with general household organisation and anticipating the family's needs.
• Providing additional support with the family's two dogs during November and August.

The Ideal Candidate

• Previous experience working in a high-end private household.
• Exceptional housekeeping skills and an excellent eye for detail.
• Someone who understands and enjoys five-star standards.
• Organised, reliable, discreet and trustworthy.
• A positive, hands-on approach and the ability to work independently.
• Happy to be flexible and muck in when needed.
• A genuine love of dogs and happy to help care for them during the specified periods.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a professional Housekeeper looking to join a lovely private household, where high standards, a proactive approach and a genuine passion for what they do are really valued.
