Top H.K. live out: Knightsbridge. £45k


Location: London

Position: Permanent

Salary: £45k


Job Type : Domestic Staff
 

9 am to 5.30pm, weekends off, mainly absent owners.  Ah! But guests on occasions!  This family own a few properties, and your duties are to care for the main luxurious penthouse with roof terrace.  You will be a detail person, wardrobe management, leaving all shiny as if you are at a 5 star hotel in fact, training in one would be so appreciated, or certainly from a  luxury property background.  All must be left as if you are at  Claridge’s or the Ritz but with a kitchen!  Good English essential.

 

The property manager is hands on so yes, in the main on your own, but if necessary, she helps and is great to work with.  Small dog to walk at times and to cuddle but he travels with the family. 

 

If you are confident that you are a Fit, Superbly Trained and Experienced Housekeeper, able to be flexible with your time when necessary, so no “pick up from school” ties, are discreet with the ability to supervise yourself, please send me your CV and photo NOW!

Guardians for Chateau, South West France.  Cica 60€ net.

You must speak French!  Based near Nimes.  The lady with 5 mature cats, is seldom at the house but all must always be immaculate. The cats need love and care as getting old now, so on medication.  Over an 8 hour day you will care for the garden daily with the 2 gardeners who come in roughly, twice a week, and there is a person there, who runs the property.  Security is paramount and some help in the house if needed.  Your references must reflect a similar role as domestic couple and be recent and contactable.

 

Your accommodation in the grounds has three bedrooms and two bathrooms so you are welcome to have pets but not who chase the cats!  IMPORTANT NOTE:  This is for professional guardians who have done a similar role before and NOT for those just looking for a home and low hours!  DO NOT APPLY IF NOT EXPERIENCED.  One of you must drive and there is a car there if you need one.

 

She keeps staff for years and is extremely nice and loves to travel so I feel this job is one for life.  The lady of this couple will not have as much to do and the gentleman must be fit and happy with outside work.

 

How to shine:

Speak French:

One of you drive:

Be experienced in housework as professionals.

I want a CV showing your household jobs and references related to them.

Belgravia: Live out HK £45k

Location: London

Position: Permanent

Salary: £45k


Job Type : Domestic Staff
 

This a superbly traditional job, (no cooking, no need to drive) where the English employers know what they are doing and hope you do too!  You will join a Nepalese and Filipina lady also H.Keepers, and arrange hours with them but normally 10 to 7pm.  The principals are away for at least half the year but you must always be ready for the unexpected arrival.

 

After a stormy few years of clients leaving the UK, finding someone who has been employed for years is a tough one as so many good HK have had to leave jobs when not their fault.  Anyway, if you can show at least 5 years in one place then contact me.  This is the key to a safe job in a professionally managed home with good hours and happy vibes.  YOU MUST HAVE THIS EXPEREINCE!  CVs please with photo and refs would be ideal.  Those who know me ring me and remind me how lax I have been in not contacting you!  This is a great job.

 

How to shine:

Oddly they don’t want hotel experience just years in one job.

Be flexible to help the team.

Have a good CV showing your skills.

 

Want to know more?

Send those details to me NOW to arrange a virtual meeting.
