All Vacancies

A private principal is appointing a household manager to take the running of a Kensington townhouse off them entirely. The house is occupied intermittently; the standard does not drop when it is empty.

What the role involves

  • Managing a housekeeper, a part-time chef and visiting contractors
  • Rotas, household budget, petty cash and supplier accounts
  • Property maintenance, security liaison and insurance renewals
  • Preparing the house ahead of the principal’s arrival and closing it down afterwards
  • Occasional travel to a second residence in Europe

Who this suits

  • Five or more years managing a formal private household or estate
  • Genuinely comfortable holding a budget and saying no to a contractor
  • Discreet, unflappable, and content working largely unsupervised
  • Full right to work in the UK and a clean driving licence
