To start ASAP
This is a fully involved and hands-on management role for a formally trained and experienced Head Housekeeper candidate who will form part of Her Highness Sheikha’s private households team, reporting into an Assistant GM. You will ideally come from a large estate, formal household and / or luxury hotel background and will not be fazed by changeable schedules and high level demands. Our client is a very respectful and a considered employer who expects the same from her staff, especially within her private service team of which you will play a main part within. You will be joining a large team of staff across multiple departments from; security, to all kitchens and F&B, front of house service, maintenance, gardens, to housekeeping, childcare and not least the principal’s private service team. There are five properties within the region which make up the domestic estate for this senior member of the Royal Family and you will be flexible for weekend travel between the properties, which may evolve to include international travel depending on the rapport you develop with Sheikha over time. Attention to detail and a six-star hospitality service approach is required. You will be managing a team of existing Housekeepers and you will be hands-on, unflappable and extremely flexible to meet the requirements of the Sheikha and her guests. You will have the gravitas and confidence to take initiative and to forward plan – often there will be impromptu, large groups of guests who will visit and you must be prepared and have your team prepared for such instances. You must be someone who is willing to take direction from HH Sheikha’s Lady’s Maids and as such you will be a team player. You will be culturally aware, respectful and entirely flexible for working schedules and travel should this be required. You will be extremely well-looked after with private accommodation (details TBD) and with a generous salary and package on offer.
