A family of five, in Ridgefield, CT, needs to hire an experienced full-time Executive Housekeeper to join their established household team. Primary responsibilities include: deep cleaning and daily maintenance of the main residence and two additional buildings on the property. The Executive Housekeeper will be responsible for the proper care and treatment of all household surfaces, including wood, glass, and stone, as well as preparing the home for the arrival of the principals and guests. Additional duties include: maintaining organization throughout the home, family laundry, ironing, the care of fine linens, assisting with special projects and helping care for a friendly, medium-sized dog. The home is multi-level with a significant number of stairs, so candidates must be comfortable working in a physically active environment. This role requires someone who thrives in a collaborative team environment, as the Executive Housekeeper will work closely with (and help oversee) another housekeeper on staff. The ideal candidate will be a senior-level professional with extensive experience in formal, fully staffed homes and a meticulous eye for detail. Because the principals spend portions of the year at other residences, the workload and priorities will naturally fluctuate depending on their schedule. The typical schedule is 8am to 4pm and the family would ideally like this person to provide weekend coverage or participate in a rotating weekend schedule (typically consisting of shorter days) with the other housekeeper. However, for an exceptional candidate, they are happy to accommodate only occasional weekend availability and hire additional part-time support as needed. Salary range: $45–50/hr. with a guaranteed 40-hour workweek regardless of seasonal schedule fluctuations. Excellent benefits are provided. The family is flexible on the start date but hopes to have someone in place by late summer.
