London, United Kingdom 19 London Full time

We have an amazing opportunity for an organised, self-motivated, and highly knowledgeable Head Housekeeper to support an international ultra-high-net-worth family in their Central London property. Working closely with the House Manager and alongside another permanent housekeeper, you will ensure that this luxury property is maintained to the highest standard year-round.

Responsible for daily cleaning and organisation of the home, as well as liaising with service providers and tradesmen, you will be a brilliant communicator who is able to liaise at all levels. You will have excellent knowledge of how to care for luxury furnishings and use of appropriate cleaning products, and the ability to train others.

- Assisting the House Manager with the purchasing of groceries and amenities for the household, taking receipt of deliveries/parcels and liaising with service providers and tradesmen
- Liaising with the wider team (drivers, security, butlers, nannies) when the family are in residence to ensure the smooth running of the family’s day
- Ad hoc duties and errand running as required

ESSENTIAL CRITERIA:

- Prior experience working for HNW or UHNW clients
- Prior yacht experience (ideally)
- Fluent English - both spoken and written
- Self-motivated, enthusiastic, organised and a proactive self-starter
