EXPERIENCED LAUNDRESS REQUIRED FOR A UHNW HOME IN MAYFAIR

A highly experienced and detail-oriented Laundress is required to take full responsibility for the care of clothing and household linens within a prestigious private residence in Central London. The role is focused on laundry and garment care.
 
The ideal candidate will bring exceptional fabric care knowledge, strong time management skills, and the discretion expected when working within a high-profile household. Responsibilities include overseeing the entire laundry process — from sorting, washing, and drying to pressing, folding, and storing garments and linens to the highest standard. Items must be carefully categorised, with expert knowledge applied to delicate and specialist materials. Ironing and finishing must consistently meet impeccable standards, ensuring all items are beautifully presented and ready to wear.

You will work closely with the household’s Wardrobe Manager to ensure all garments are cared for appropriately and always ready for wear. A key part of the role will involve managing a high volume of children’s laundry, handling delicate fabrics, and carrying out basic mending and repairs where needed.
