Housekeeper (Maternity Cover), Holland Park – £45-50K gpa (pro rata)

Description

January to August, with possible extension

Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm

With excellent hours and a lovely, kind employer, this is the perfect long-term temporary role for a top housekeeper looking to step into a high-standard private household in the new year.

This is a solo housekeeper role, but you’ll be well supported by the couple’s lovely PA and property manager, who you’ll liaise with daily. Someone who thinks ahead and enjoys being part of a friendly, hands-on household will be a great fit.

There’s also a very sweet, very energetic dog in the household, so a love of four-legged friends is a must!
