Full-time – Travelling Housekeeper (Live in)

Kenya/Travel

Full-time English-speaking Travel Housekeeper required in Kenya + travelling between London, Dubai & Tbilisi. Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 gross per annum. Live-in. Start ASAP.

A family of four is seeking a friendly and experienced Housekeeper to maintain their family homes and travel with the family between each residence (Nairobi, London, Dubai & Tbilisi). 

As a Housekeeper, you will be responsible for the day-to-day upkeep of the household. Duties will include general cleaning (both dry and wet), laundry, ironing of clothes and bed linen, and ensuring the home remains well-organised and stocked. You will take the lead on ordering household supplies and be expected to maintain the home to a high standard. Cooking is not a key responsibility, as professional chefs are employed; however, the candidate should feel comfortable preparing simple meals or light dishes when required.

Each property is fully staffed with security and management teams, as well as resident housekeepers in each location. The family wishes to have a lead housekeeper who is able to travel with them, offering a more personal approach in their requirements & preferences. 

The candidate may occasionally be required to travel in advance or remain independently to oversee specific household tasks. 

The ideal candidate will be hard-working, experienced, and committed, with a proactive and positive attitude. You must be a good communicator, polite, respectful, and reliable, with prior experience working in private households.

The working schedule is 6 days on / 1 day off (Sunday), working from 9 am to 6 pm. 

The role will commence in Kenya for the winter before travelling to Europe, typically moving between residences three to five times per year. 

This is a live-in position, with a separate room provided in each location.

Package:
Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 gross per annum
6/1 working schedule (Sunday off)
Live-in position (separate room provided)
