2 HOUSEKEEPER Vacancies: To start ASAP
Our client is seeking 2 meticulous daily housekeepers to work as part of a team, at a substantial residential property located Nr. Haslemere
For periods of time the property is unoccupied, but it must be maintained in a permanent ready state, so The Principal, or their wider family, can arrive at short notice.
The housekeepers will report to the housemanager, and will need to work collaboratively with other colleagues, including a butler, housekeepers, maintenance and security staff.
The property is run with resident team, and when the family arrive they bring a large travelling team of staff, including chef, maids, butler and valet. So it is very important for the housekeepers to have a positive, friendly, can-do attitude, so that they can fit-in seamlessly with the whole team.
When the family are not in residence the hours of work are based on a 5-day week, working predominantly Monday to Friday with only a little flexibility required. However when the family are in residence, greater flexibility is required and expected, which will include weekend work - extra hours/days; extra time worked will be given in lieu.
