Private Housekeeper, Live-In London

We are working with a friendly and down-to-earth UHNW couple in North London to assist in hiring a long-term live-in Housekeeper. The household is relaxed yet highly refined, and the Principals value loyalty, professionalism, and genuine care within their team.

You will be responsible for the daily cleaning, organisation, and overall presentation of a beautifully renovated four-storey residence featuring four bedrooms, a cinema, generous living spaces, and a separate summer house equipped with a sauna, gym, and pool. The role requires a Housekeeper who takes pride in maintaining exacting standards while supporting the smooth running of the home.

This is a live-in position offering well-appointed accommodation within the property’s light-filled basement, complete with a private entrance. All onsite leisure facilities may be used out of hours or when the Principals are away. The couple also own a second home on the South West coast, and occasional travel will be required to prepare and maintain the property ahead of family visits.

You MUST have the right to live and work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not offered for this position.
