A fantastic opportunity for an experienced Daily Housekeeper to join a warm and welcoming family in Wimbledon. This is a long term role with a lovely family who have employed their current Housekeeper for the past eight years and are very sad to see her leave.

Job Summary:
The family are looking for a professional, friendly, and proactive Housekeeper who will become a valued part of their household. They pride themselves on treating staff like family and are seeking someone who can build a strong working relationship based on mutual respect, honesty, and trust.

This is a relaxed and informal household where uniforms are not required. The family are young, approachable, and appreciate a Housekeeper who is happy to interact with the family whilst also having the confidence to work independently and understand household routines.

This is a hands on housekeeping role with a variety of duties including laundry, ironing, household organisation, and liaising with tradespeople.

The family have a child (newborn due in October), so previous childcare experience would be advantageous, although no childcare duties are required. The household also includes two small French Bulldogs, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys being around dogs.
