We are seeking a discreet, personable and self-motivated Housekeeper to join a warm and welcoming private household in Fulham, supporting a high-profile British actress and her two young daughters. This is a rare opportunity to join a genuinely lovely home environment with a relaxed and respectful culture, where everyone is valued and treated like part of the family.

About the Household:

This is a live-out position in a recently renovated home, currently being fine-tuned to the Principal’s preferences. The family consists of the Principal and her two daughters, along with a Nanny and an established household team. The home is light, calm, and well-organised, with a great energy among the all-female team (aged 23–29). The Principal is creative, personable, and appreciates having trusted people around her who bring warmth and positive energy to the house.

While the position is part of a high-profile household, it is not a high-pressure role—there is an emphasis on creating a homey, lived-in feel rather than a rigid or formal environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Daily housekeeping of key living areas: primarily the Principal’s bedroom, bathroom and wardrobe

• Weekly housekeeping of children’s rooms and nanny's room (when family is in residence)

• General tidying, resetting, and maintaining the calm, aesthetic feel of the home

• Wardrobe organisation and closet management (major ongoing project)

• Light laundry duties including children’s clothing and linens

• Occasional guest room flip if visitors are staying (infrequent)

• Occasional support with grocery or drink restocks, liaising with team members as needed

• Working around the Principal’s schedule respectfully; being adaptable and aware of household flow

• Occasional additional hours/overtime as required (with notice)

Requirements:

• At least 1 season of housekeeping/yachting/private household experience

• Confident with the basics of cleaning, laundry and wardrobe management

• Organised and visually aware – able to keep spaces tidy and aesthetically pleasing

• Teachable, proactive, and happy to work independently

• Comfortable working in a busy family household with young children

• Strong sense of discretion – must be trustworthy, respectful of privacy and able to sign an NDA

• UK work rights and recent DBS check (or willing to obtain)

• A calm, friendly, and professional demeanour – someone who can “read the room”

• Ideally British, to provide consistency in the home environment and minimise changing accents around the children

What You’ll Love:

• Beautiful home with structure, calm, and a friendly vibe

• Manageable, well-maintained house – no frantic pace or micromanagement

• Make your own schedule when no one’s home – listen to music or a podcast as you work

• A Principal who is warm, respectful and loves creating a positive, homey atmosphere

• Occasional overtime, annual bonus, and potential for a longer-term, stable role

This is a fantastic role for someone grounded, reliable, and looking for a genuinely lovely household to settle into. Ideal for someone with previous yachting or private household experience who is not chasing a management role, but instead values balance, respect, and a good atmosphere.
