Our returning clients are seeking a live-in Housekeeper/Cook for their 6-bedroom Georgian family home estate with landscaped gardens and adjoining working farm. The property is home to a couple who regularly host their family and friends. The role is to work alongside a small, close-knit and long-standing team comprised of Estate Manager, several estate workers and gardeners, and an all-rounder.
Duties will include covering all housekeeping and laundry (with occasional support when needed from another all-rounder member of staff) to a very high standard. There will be daily family cooking and whilst the principals enjoy simple, family style food, they expect high standards with a focus on healthy, organic food cooked from scratch, freshly baked breads and someone who can make use of the kitchen garden and orchard. There will also be occasionally help with food prep for small dinner parties. Whilst housekeeping and cooking duties take priority, there may be scope for a variety of outdoor work in the gardens and farm if this is of interest to applicants.
The ideal candidate will be a flexible, easy going team player with a can-do attitude. The role would suit someone with extensive housekeeping experience and who is a passionate cook and lover of the great outdoors. Being a driver is a must.
Working days & hours: Friday – Tuesday, 8am – 5pm (Wed & Thurs off with scope for 1 weekend off per month)
Start date: March 2025 (Maternity cover for 1 year)
Accommodation: Private 1-bedroom cottage in peaceful, rural setting (all bills included and pets welcome)
Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 (DOE)
Unless otherwise specified a minimum of 3 years relevant experience is required to receive the advertised rate of pay
