Live-Out Housekeeper, Richmond

The household

A family in Richmond is seeking an experienced housekeeper to help care for their six-bedroom home. This is a comfortable, well-kept family house with teenage children and a friendly dog, and the family take genuine pride in how it is looked after.

The successful candidate will join a small household team, working alongside another housekeeper and sharing the care of the home between them.

The role

This is a hands-on housekeeping position covering all aspects of the daily care, cleaning and presentation of a family home. The role does not include childcare.

Alongside general housekeeping, the role includes laundry, ironing and garment care, with a good knowledge of delicate fabrics, together with household errands and wider duties as required. It calls for someone calm, steady and reliable, who works well within a small team and takes quiet satisfaction in a home kept properly.

• Laundry, ironing and garment care, including delicate fabrics
• Keeping bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas clean, tidy and well presented
