- Description
We are looking for a Live-in Housekeeper for a family in Devon.
The property is a Georgian country house situated on a hill above a small village.
You will work for a nice busy family with four children aged between 8 and 16.
They are based in London during term time and spend school holidays and summer weekends in Devon. During the summer and over New Year the house is very busy, with frequent overnight guests and day visitors. In contrast, some months of the year (November and January until April) the house is not used at all.
A second, much smaller, house on the estate is occupied full time by the family's grandparents who are in their 70s. They are both very active and involved in the local community. They are completely independent, but the housekeeper position would include a half day a week cleaning for them.
Duties:
All housekeeping and laundry duties, some shopping and food preparation, organising and supervising outside contractors, occasional driving as required, and running a petty cash account.
Ideally, the housekeeper will also have an interest in being involved with the garden, particularly during the times of year when the family are not in residence.
An ability to cook would be an advantage, but is not a requirement. The housekeeper will also assist the gardener with looking after the chickens and other family pets.
There may be occasional babysitting and child minding.
The housekeeper may occasionally be asked to help at one of the family's other properties in London or France.
The accommodation offered is a newly-built cottage with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, sitting room and kitchen.
Salary is £30k negotiable.
