Overview
Bespoke Bureau is seeking an exceptional Private Housekeeper / Laundress for a UHNW household based primarily in Knightsbridge. The family is 2 adults (European and Middle Eastern without kids or pets).
This is a hands-on position requiring someone with excellent all-round housekeeping standards and particularly strong laundry, ironing, and garment-care skills.
The successful candidate will be highly organised, meticulous, and accustomed to working to the standards expected within a luxury private household. The role is primarily London-based; however, the Principals travel frequently and the Housekeeper must be willing and able to accompany them internationally when required. For example, to Spain.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The normal working pattern will be five days per week and predominantly daytime hours. However, genuine flexibility is important. The household is looking for someone who understands that private service cannot always operate to an exact finishing time and who is comfortable adapting when circumstances require.

- Full housekeeping to an exceptional private household standard
- Laundry, ironing, and professional garment care
- Excellent knowledge of washing temperatures, fabrics, and garment-care instructions
- Care of delicate and high-value clothing
- Maintaining bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas immaculately
- Wardrobe organisation and clothing management
- Assisting with packing and unpacking when required
- Working alongside the household's Valet/Wardrobe Specialist and providing clothing/laundry cover when necessary
- Maintaining excellent organisation throughout the residence
- Preparing the property before the Principals' arrival and maintaining standards during residence
- Working collaboratively with other household staff
- Occasional international travel, including to the family's European residences/destinations
- Remaining flexible around changing schedules and household requirements
