PHS Job 3251, Permanent Full-Time Live-Out Travelling Housekeeper in Windsor, Berkshire, Salary[...]

Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present an excellent opportunity for an experienced, proactive, and independent Travelling Housekeeper to support a private lady residing in a beautiful three‑storey Georgian property in Windsor, Berkshire. Windsor is renowned for its historic charm, elegant architecture, and proximity to London, offering a refined yet practical working environment.

The principal divides her time among Windsor, her London flat, and Scotland during the summer months, and seeks a trustworthy professional with experience caring for dogs, a willingness to travel, and the confidence to manage a household independently to a consistently high standard. Working as a Travelling Housekeeper in a private residence of this nature requires a high level of organisation, initiative, and attention to detail.

The successful candidate will be comfortable caring for fine surfaces such as marble and wood, managing laundry to an excellent standard, overseeing household shopping, and coordinating contractors. This role is well‑suited to a pro‑active and capable housekeeper who enjoys responsibility, is confident working alone, and is flexible to travel regularly between properties, including accompanying the principal to Scotland during the summer period.

This is a live‑out position based in Windsor, which benefits from excellent transport links and is easily accessible by public transport. However, due to the nature of the role, running errands, and travel requirements, a driving licence is essential, and access to a car is strongly preferred while working in Windsor. When travelling to Scotland, a vehicle, accommodation, and all associated travel arrangements are provided by the principal. During the summer months, the housekeeper will accompany the principal to Scotland for three to four days per week. Accommodation provided in Scotland is of a high standard, allowing the housekeeper to live comfortably while continuing to deliver excellent household support in a beautiful countryside setting.

Only candidates who have the eligibility to work in the UK will be considered for this role.
