Housekeeper job (M/F) in Comines, France

Comines

Job Description

Morgan & Mallet International is recruiting, on behalf of a private family in Comines, France, an experienced and highly reliable Housekeeper to take responsibility for the cleanliness, organisation and day-to-day upkeep of their home.

Following previous experiences with household staff who did not meet the family’s expectations in terms of cleaning standards and professionalism, the family is now looking for a genuinely experienced household professional who can work independently and maintain consistently high standards.

The role will focus primarily on daily and deep cleaning, laundry and household organisation, while also including some animal care. The family has several pets, including dogs, cats and rabbits, so genuine confidence and ease around animals is an essential requirement.

The successful candidate will be discreet, conscientious and proactive, with a strong eye for detail and the ability to identify what needs to be done without constant supervision.

Responsibilities

Housekeeping & Deep Cleaning

  • Take full responsibility for the cleanliness and presentation of the residence.
  • Carry out daily housekeeping across bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and other household spaces.
  • Perform regular deep-cleaning tasks to maintain a consistently high standard.
  • Dust, vacuum, mop, clean surfaces and ensure all areas are carefully maintained.
  • Pay particular attention to details and areas that are frequently overlooked.
  • Use appropriate cleaning products and techniques according to different surfaces and materials.
  • Maintain an orderly and welcoming environment throughout the home.

Laundry & Household Linen

  • Manage the complete laundry process for the household.
  • Wash, dry, iron and fold clothing and household linens.
  • Handle delicate garments and fabrics with appropriate care.
  • Ensure clean laundry is correctly organised and returned to its designated place.
  • Maintain a consistent system for household linens and clothing.

Pet Care & Animal Areas

Comfort around animals is an essential part of the position.

The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the daily cleanliness and hygiene of areas used by the family’s pets, including:

  • Rabbits.
  • Cats.
  • Dogs, including larger dogs.

Duties will include:

  • Cleaning and maintaining litter boxes and animal living areas.
  • Ensuring pet areas remain hygienic and well organised.
  • Supporting the general upkeep of spaces shared with the animals.
  • Monitoring household supplies related to pet care.
  • Reporting any concerns or issues to the family.

Candidates must be genuinely comfortable working around animals and should not be nervous around larger dogs.

Additional Family Support

Although housekeeping and animal care are the principal responsibilities, the successful candidate may occasionally be asked to provide additional household assistance.

This may include:

  • Providing occasional childcare when required.
  • Preparing simple family meals.
  • Assisting with basic kitchen organisation and cleaning.
  • Monitoring stocks of household and cleaning products.
  • Checking supplies for the family’s pets and notifying the family when replenishment is required.
  • Keeping cupboards, storage areas and utility spaces organised.
  • Reporting maintenance concerns or household issues promptly.

These additional duties will remain secondary to the primary housekeeping responsibilities.

Job Requirements

The family is seeking a professional Housekeeper who takes genuine pride in their work and is comfortable working independently within a private home.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

  • Previous professional experience as a Housekeeper, Private Housekeeper or House Manager.
  • Experience working within a private household is highly desirable.
  • Excellent cleaning skills and knowledge of professional housekeeping techniques.
  • Strong attention to detail and exceptionally high standards of cleanliness.
  • Genuine confidence around dogs, cats and rabbits.
  • Comfort working around large dogs.
  • Previous childcare experience is an advantage.
  • Basic cooking skills are appreciated.
  • Strong organisational and time-management abilities.
  • A proactive and autonomous approach to household duties.
  • Reliability, punctuality and consistency.
  • A discreet and trustworthy personality.
  • Respect for the privacy and confidentiality of the family.
  • The ability to identify tasks and complete them without requiring constant direction.

The family is looking for someone who will establish a long-term working relationship and take genuine ownership of the household’s cleanliness and organisation.

Working Conditions

  • Location: Comines, France
  • Position: Housekeeper
  • Contract: Permanent contract (CDI)
  • Schedule: Full-time, 35 hours per week
  • Accommodation: Live-out
  • Start Date: Early September

This is a long-term opportunity for an experienced Housekeeper looking to work directly within a private family environment.
