House Manager / Executive Housekeeper, Kensington - Up to £70k gpa

Monday to Friday, 10am–6pm, with flexibility

A lovely opportunity for an experienced housekeeper ready to step into a broader, more senior role within a busy private residence in Kensington. Working closely with the Head Housekeeper and Head Gardener, you'll be the key link between the household and gardening teams, PAs and Property Manager, keeping everything running smoothly and staying one step ahead of the household's needs.

This remains a very hands-on role. You’ll be equally comfortable with the hands-on housekeeping, managing household stock and supplies, coordinating suppliers and contractors, and taking care of the pets.

Duties:

• Oversee the day-to-day running of the residence and anticipate household requirements

• Coordinate with the Head Housekeeper and Head Gardener across the house and grounds

• Plan and prepare for guest stays, events and special occasions

• Manage stock levels of household supplies, stationery, kitchen provisions and guest amenities

• Keep on top of deliveries, post and newspapers

• Maintain household systems, procedures and records

• Act as the main point of contact between departments, flagging issues and suggesting improvements

• Liaise with suppliers, contractors and the family's other properties to keep standards consistent

• Cleaning, laundry, ironing and room preparation to an exceptional standard

• Provide housekeeping cover during annual leave, sickness, events and guest stays

• Assist with deep cleans and seasonal housekeeping projects

Requirements:

• Previous experience in a senior housekeeping or household coordination role within a private residence

• Full UK driving licence preferred

• Dog friendly and willing to help with their care, including occasional evening dog-sitting

• Flexibility for occasional evenings or earlier starts when needed

• A positive, team-focused approach and a willingness to help wherever needed
