Start ASAP

Candidates need to drive with their own transport due to location

DBS, excellent checkable references and legal to work in the UK.

This role went on hold, but is active again now. We are looking for an experienced Housekeeper, top standards, with informal and formal F&B service skills. There is a preference for candidates from a yacht or high-end chalet background. You will be joining a great team at this 5 bed residence in St George’s Hill.

 

3 Housekeepers in the M-F team all performing housekeeping duties and each with their own speciality area. The role we are seeking to fill is the HK/F&B Service. In addition to housekeeping your additional area will be table set up and daily meal service. Day to day it’s family style service – set up and lay table for meals, place dishes on table, attend to any needs during meals. When the Principal holds business meetings at the residence, the service switches to formal. You will greet guests, set up and decorate the table, and provide silver service.

 

This HK/Service role will work the middle shift Mon – Fri from 9am to 6 pm. The other 2 HKs (Head and Laundry/Wardrobe) rotate on early and late shifts which cover 7.45 am to 8 pm each day.

 

Other staff include a fantastic House Manager whom I’ve placed before, a weekend HK working Fri, Sat Sun, weekday and weekend Chefs, Chauffeur, Gardener, PA and a Chief of Staff/EA. The family have a large, friendly dog, so you need to be comfortable around large dogs.

 

Getting there – driving is easier, but if using public transport or commuting from London, it’s a 5 minute taxi ride from the train station to the property, 10 minutes cycling or 20 minutes walking.

 

Salary is £60K. Overtime requirement is rare but is paid time and a half weekdays and double time at weekends.

 

• Good range of Asian/Far East cuisines, and Mediterranean
• One family member is vegetarian
• Strong nutritional knowledge
• Salary from £70,000 upwards, fairly open for top level Chefs
• Any occasional overtime is paid or time in lieu
• Mon – Fri. 3 full days, 2 half days. 43-45 hr week

Light breakfast served around 10 am, and lunch and dinner daily. Generally, 2 adults for lunch and 3 for dinner. Their teenager is vegetarian, as are Grandparents who visit occasionally. The Indian Chef works weekends and 2 half days in the week, and covers family entertaining. You will cover the occasional bigger events, e.g. summer parties held in the garden.

 

A driver is essential for shopping – house car available or your own car.

 

The schedule is Mon/Tues/Thus 8 am to 8 pm, and Wed/Fri 8 am to 12/1pm. One of the Housekeepers does service and also assists in the kitchen as needed. Family leans more towards a female chef but are open to male chefs as well.

 

Staff cottage in the grounds for meals and breaks which is stocked with food and snack for staff to make their own meals when on duty. Some come in early and have breakfast here before starting their day.
