Live-out House Manager required in Chelsea – Summer 2025 Start
Our client is seeking a proactive, highly experienced client facing House Manager to oversee the daily operations of a fully renovated, high-spec 10-bedroom residence in Chelsea.

Start: Summer 2025 (flexible for the right candidate)
Location: Chelsea, London

This is a traditional, formal household who typically reside at the property 3 months over the summer. The successful candidate must be presentable, poised, and confident managing both people and a high-end home.

Supporting the family’s hosting and entertaining, including occasional large gatherings and afternoon teas
Hands-on service when required, including table service and event preparation
Maintaining an excellent relationship with the external Property Management team
Upholding top-tier presentation and standards throughout all areas of the residence
Being adaptable and stepping into various roles as needed, especially during busy periods, including housekeeping
Requirements
Prior experience managing large, high-value private homes
Arabic language skills are a plus but not essential
Confident managing teams, leading by example, and ensuring excellence at all times
Able to handle pressure and a seasonal work cycle, with a very busy summer and quieter winter where your duties are lighter
Discreet, proactive, organised, and able to anticipate needs
Familiarity with high-spec finishes and knowing when to involve professionals
Must live within an easy commute to Chelsea
Right to work in the UK
Non-driver role – the position is largely house-based with occasional errands
Excellent checkable references

Approx 80,000GBP per annum gross. Possibly negotiable depending on experience
