Summary

Perfect Household Staff is proud to present a truly exceptional opportunity for an experienced and polished Private Housekeeper to join a prestigious private household operating across two of Central London's most coveted addresses.

This is a live-out, full-time, permanent position split across a beautifully maintained two-bedroom apartment on Cranley Gardens, South Kensington — one of the most sought-after streets in the borough — and an interconnecting flat on Charles Street in the heart of Mayfair. Both properties enjoy superb public transport connections: Gloucester Road Underground station is moments from the South Kensington property, whilst the Mayfair flat is within a two to five minute walk of both Bond Street and Green Park stations, making this a highly accessible role for experienced domestic professionals across London.

The successful candidate will spend three days per week at the South Kensington apartment and the remaining two days at the Mayfair property. This is a role that demands a consistently immaculate approach across two distinct and elegant environments, the ability to manage one's time and priorities independently, and the professionalism and poise to operate within a fully staffed household during periods of family residence.

Beyond standard daily and deep-cleaning duties, the role includes the specialist care of fine furnishings, luxury wardrobes, and valuable household assets, front-of-house support during the seasonal calendar, and the seamless preparation of both properties between periods of family absence and arrival. The family's Labrador will be in residence during the summer months, and comfort with pets is essential.

We are looking for a candidate who brings genuine private household gravitas — someone who has ideally worked within UHNW or fully staffed household environments, understands the elevated standards, protocols, and discretion that such settings demand, and takes quiet, professional pride in every detail of the homes in their care.
