Job description

A very large estate in Surrey is on the hunt for a junior housekeeper to join their housekeeping team.

The ideal candidate will be a clear communicator with their superiors and a good team player.

Duties required include:

• Traditional housekeeping such as cleaning, mopping, vacuuming, and dusting
• Taking care of precious art, antiques, and expensive flooring throughout the home
• Stock checks of all cleaning products and actioning as necessary
• Laundry and ironing care, including wardrobe management and dealing with expensive and delicate garments
• Helping with meal preparation and washing up after mealtimes
• Tidying and organising the home to a high standard

The hours of the role are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5/6pm. If the candidate is required to work during the weekend, the client is willing to provide days off in lieu.

The junior housekeeper will receive extensive training and supervision from the senior and head housekeepers. Therefore, the ideal candidate will be someone who is looking to better or start their career in private households and grow within the team. The family is looking for a candidate who is on the hunt for a long-term role so they can become an extension of the family.

The family has a beagle; therefore, an animal lover is essential, and a driver is beneficial for the candidate’s sake due to the remote location of the client’s home. Furthermore, for candidates that wish to live in, a flat with a shared living/kitchen area and private en-suite bedroom will be provided (you will only be sharing with one other housekeeper), although it is not essential for the candidate to live in if they are based locally.
