HANDS-ON EXECUTIVE HOUSEKEEPER REQUIRED FOR UHNW FAMILY IN MASSACHUSETTS

A unique opportunity has arisen for an experienced and trustworthy Executive Housekeeper to join a private UHNW family at their home in Massachusetts. This is a hands-on position for someone who takes genuine pride in housekeeping and will take responsibility for the smooth running, organisation and presentation of the family home.
 
Reporting to the family’s Chief of Staff and working alongside a part-time Housekeeper/Cleaner, the successful candidate will maintain exceptionally high standards across the 3-bedroom residence while also supporting with household organisation, inventories, suppliers, contractors, errands and general day-to-day requirements. The role also involves preparing simple family meals, so the ability and willingness to cook when required is important, although a formal chef background is not required.
 
A confident driver who is warm and comfortable around children, the successful candidate will also provide occasional practical support to the family’s son when he is at home. The family are looking for someone discreet, dependable and naturally proactive who notices what needs doing and takes ownership without always needing to be directed. The home is located in rural Massachusetts, so the role is best suited to a candidate who enjoys quieter areas rather than bustling city life.
 
The working week is generally around 40-45 hours, but the family has a dynamic schedule, and flexibility is therefore essential. During term time, the working day may need to be structured around the child’s school drop-off and collection, while at other times the hours may be closer to a traditional working day. The successful candidate should be comfortable adapting their priorities and working pattern according to the family’s schedule, rather than expecting every day to look the same.
