Live -in Housekeeper/Cook req in St Johns Wood (NW8), £45k+ gpa, October start

A lovely, discreet and family-oriented family based in St John’s Wood, NW8, are looking for an experienced, energetic and highly capable Live-In Housekeeper/Cook to join their well-run household. The family are looking for someone who is confident working to a very high standard, has excellent attention to detail and is able to use their own initiative. The role is approximately 50% housekeeping and 50% cooking, with responsibility for preparing healthy, fresh and varied meals for the family and occasionally for dinner guests and small dinner parties. The successful candidate should be a confident cook who is comfortable with menu planning and creating nutritious meals rather than simply following recipes. Previous experience working in a HNW household is preferred. You will work alongside the family’s existing Housekeeper/Nanny and long-standing Driver, helping with the smooth running of the household and occasionally supervising the children in the evenings; the children are aged 10, 12 and 14, so this is very much supervision rather than traditional babysitting.

Working days: 5 days - Sunday to Thursday with a Friday and Saturday off. During school holiday the family are flexible for Monday to Friday.

Hours: Up to 45 hours per week


Salary: £45–£50k gross per annum, depending on experience.


Start: October 2026
