Job Description
Are you a highly organised, meticulous, and experienced Housekeeper seeking a fulfilling role within a warm and welcoming family home? Career.zycto is proud to be recruiting on behalf of a lovely private family residing in the vibrant and leafy borough of Wandsworth, London. This is a unique opportunity for a dedicated individual to become an integral part of their household, ensuring the smooth running and pristine condition of their residence. The family values discretion, efficiency, and a proactive approach, looking for someone who takes immense pride in their work and contributes to a peaceful and orderly living environment. They are seeking a long-term professional who will truly embed themselves into the fabric of their home, understanding its rhythms and personal touches.
As the Housekeeper, you will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and organisation throughout a beautiful, multi-level family home. This role goes beyond basic cleaning; it involves meticulous attention to detail, understanding the specific needs of the household, and a keen eye for presentation. Your duties will encompass all aspects of household management related to cleanliness and tidiness, from daily upkeep to deeper, rotational cleaning schedules. You will be working autonomously for much of your day, managing your time effectively to complete all tasks to an exemplary standard, ensuring every corner of the home reflects the family’s high expectations for comfort and hygiene. The ability to work independently, prioritise tasks, and demonstrate initiative without constant supervision is paramount.
The ideal candidate will be trustworthy, reliable, and possess a genuine passion for creating a comfortable and impeccably kept home. We are seeking someone who can anticipate needs, demonstrate initiative, and uphold the family’s privacy and lifestyle with the utmost respect. You will be expected to manage and care for delicate surfaces, fine furnishings, and valuable possessions with extreme care. Furthermore, a good understanding of modern household appliances and cleaning technologies is highly advantageous. This position offers stability and the chance to truly make a difference in the daily lives of an appreciative family, providing them with the peace of mind that their home is in expert hands. Join a household where your hard work and dedication will be consistently valued and acknowledged.
