Summary

PERMANENT PART-TIME LIVE-OUT HOUSEKEEPER JOB SOUTH KENSINGTON | LONDON | GB SALARY: £21–23 gross per hour PHS JOB 3632 The family is looking for a mature, experienced private household professional — genuinely experienced in private homes, not someone from a general cleaning service. They are looking for someone self-sufficient, trustworthy, and comfortable working without daily oversight, given how often the family travels. A background in specialist laundry or wardrobe care (for example, hotel-style laundress experience) would be a strong advantage. This is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in South Kensington, home to a mother and her 12-year-old child. The child splits time between two households on a two-week rotation, and the family travels frequently, sometimes leaving the property empty for extended periods. There are no pets in the home. The family has previously split housekeeping and wardrobe/laundry duties between two separate people, but found this arrangement inconvenient, with overlapping responsibilities and miscommunication between the two. They are now looking for one experienced professional to combine both roles. Position: Live-out Part-Time Housekeeper (Housekeeping & Wardrobe Care) Location: South Kensington, London Working Days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday (Saturday may be considered instead of Friday, if needed); 3 days/week Hours: 8 hours per day; 21 hours per week Hourly Rate: £21–23 gross per hour, depending on experience; self-employed Language: Russian preferred, though English is also acceptable Driving: Not required Cooking: Not required Start Date: As soon as possible — the current employee is leaving within approximately two weeks Main Duties: General housekeeping and cleaning throughout the apartment Wardrobe care and laundry, including washing delicate items correctly (the family specifically mentioned jeans and similar garments needing proper care, though this is not a repairs/tailoring role) Receiving courier deliveries Printing documents at home as needed Occasional small errands, such as returning parcels to a nearby post office Assisting with packing and unpacking suitcases, given the family's frequent travel Working independently and reliably, including during periods when the family is away for extended stretches, without requiring close supervision Requirements: Several years of genuine private household experience Comfortable and confident managing laundry and wardrobe care to a high standard Fluent Russian or English DBS check required Right to work in the UK References required
