We are seeking a Senior Housekeeper to manage and oversee the smooth running of a stunning, large residence situated on a private estate in Staffordshire.

The experienced housekeeper will be responsible for the cleaning and upkeep of the household with a family of 4, as well as basic food preparation when in residence. There are two existing housekeepers that have been at the property many years.

  • Driving - you must hold a full driving license 

The ability and willingness to work outside of your standard job description on occasion to assist the Global Property Manager (who you will be reporting to and is based on the Estate) with ad hoc tasks and errands, would be appreciated.

Days/hours: The basic working hours are 40-50 hours per week, Monday – Friday however when the family are in residence you will be required to work weekends with additional time off in the week.

There will be occasional travel to the principal's other property in the UK.
