House Manager, Chelsea, 2-bed flat provided, circa £70k gpa depending on experience
Accommodation: Separate 2-bedroom flat in Chelsea (must be main residence, partner/children/well-behaved pets welcome)
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00am–4:00pm (flexibility required)
A fantastic opportunity for a hands‑on, grounded House Manager to join a warm, down‑to‑earth private household in Chelsea. This is a role for someone who genuinely loves rolling their sleeves up, someone equally comfortable making a house immaculate as they are troubleshooting the lighting system or resetting the AV.
The Role
* Active, day-to-day involvement in the running of a beautiful Chelsea residence, this is not a desk job
* Overseeing housekeeping to a high standard, including pitching in directly when needed
* Ensuring the home is always guest‑ready: presentation, stocking, fresh flowers, everything in its place
* Welcoming guests, managing arrivals and departures, and sending straightforward post‑visit reports
* Working alongside a small team and coordinating on‑site trades and suppliers
* Daily checks of the plant room, smart home systems (lighting, AV, climate control), flagging and following up on any issues
* Being a confident first point of contact for the smart home tech, comfortable using control panels, apps and basic troubleshooting, with support available for anything more complex
* Liaising closely with the EA/line manager with clear, regular updates
Candidate Profile
* Happy to be hands‑on, no task is beneath you
* Some familiarity with smart home systems (Crestron, Lutron, Control4 or similar) is a real advantage; a genuine willingness to get up to speed is essential
* Warm, professional manner with guests and household staff
* Highly organised, consistent and quietly dependable
* A natural problem‑solver who takes ownership and doesn't wait to be asked
* Previous experience in a private household, high‑end hospitality or estate management welcome, but attitude and work ethic matter more than a long CV
Salary and package
* Circa £70k gpa depending on experience
* Excellent 2 bed, live‑in accommodation in one of London's best locations
* Exceptionally kind, down‑to‑earth principals who genuinely care about the people who work for them
* A warm, stable household where good work is noticed and appreciated
* Real long‑term potential for the right person
* Outstanding benefits: 10% pension contribution, private medical & dental, life and critical illness insurance
