About the role

We are looking for more than someone to simply clean the house. We would like to find someone who can become a trusted part of the household and, over time, take responsibility for keeping the home running properly day to day.

The ideal person will notice what needs to be done and get it done: keeping the house clean and organised, managing laundry and ironing, keeping the kitchen in order, preparing simple meals when needed, making sure household supplies do not run out, and generally helping everything run smoothly.

The adults in the house all work, so the aim is to find someone we can trust to take ownership of the household rather than needing instructions throughout the day.

This can become a very good long-term position for the right person. We are prepared to pay well and agree a good overall package depending on experience and responsibility. Accommodation on the property can also be provided if wanted.

Our approach is simple: if you take good care of the house and become someone we can rely on, we will make sure you are well looked after too.
