We are looking for a committed, proactive, and highly professional Housekeeper (open to international travel) to join a semi-formal, fully staffed private household in Sloane Square, London.
Working alongside a small and supportive team, your responsibilities will include maintaining the property to an impeccable standard throughout the day. Duties include laundry and ironing (including delicate and high-end garments), changing bed linens, caring for furniture and specialist surfaces, wardrobe organisation, polishing silver, and packing and unpacking for travel.
There are no children in residence; however, the household has dogs, so being comfortable around pets is essential.
The role is based on a 5-day working week, with flexibility required to adjust days and hours when needed. Weekend work will be expected when the Principals are in residence.
A willingness to travel is essential. The position involves international travel approximately 3–6 times per year.
Candidates should present themselves professionally, maintain discretion at all times, and be used to working within high-standard private households. Strong communication skills are important.
Basic cooking skills would be beneficial, although not a requirement.
Proven longevity in previous roles (ideally 5+ years) and excellent, contactable references are essential.
To apply for this role you must;
· Be eligible to work in the UK
· Hold a valid passport
· Have a valid DBS check or be willing to obtain one
· Provide excellent contactable references
· Have 3–5+ years’ experience working as a Housekeeper within a private household
To apply for the position please send your CV to info@poppylaneplacements.com
