We are seeking an exceptional Senior Housekeeper for a prestigious UHNW private residence in the heart of Mayfair.
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly experienced private household professional who takes pride in maintaining the highest standards of housekeeping while confidently overseeing the day-to-day presentation and upkeep of an elegant London residence.

The principals use the London property for approximately 90 days each year. During these periods, flexibility is required to accommodate the family's schedule, while the remainder of the year follows a more standard working pattern.
Additional part-time housekeeping support is provided during busier periods.
