Live out Housekeeper Job in Holland Park, London
A returning client of Greycoat Lumleys is seeking an experienced Housekeeper to join their informal, welcoming family household in Holland Park. The family consists of a couple with two grown-up children living in an eclectic, artsy five-floor property with 5 bedrooms. The home has a homely interior that blends modern and traditional styles. The family also has two dogs — a large and a small one — but the large one is still a puppy, so a dog-friendly candidate is essential.
This role is to replace their long-standing housekeeper, who is retiring, and the family is keen to find someone looking for a long-term position. The ideal candidate will be experienced, highly capable, and take pride in delivering outstanding standards. They will be kind, mature, sensible, practical, efficient, and trustworthy, with strong communication skills and high emotional intelligence. This is an excellent opportunity for a professional housekeeper seeking a stable, long-term role within a relaxed but well-run private household.

- Maintain all areas of the house to a consistently high standard of cleanliness and organisation
