PHS Job 3082
Our clients, a welcoming family with two children aged 6 and 8, are seeking a flexible and experienced housekeeper to join them on a temporary basis at their beautiful four-storey home in Falfield Steadings, Cupar, Scotland. This six-month role arises due to the illness of the permanent housekeeper and offers the opportunity to work in a stunning rural location. Cupar, a historic market town in Fife, is renowned for its charming architecture, scenic countryside, and excellent community atmosphere. The property itself contains antique furniture requiring careful cleaning and attention. The family also has two friendly dogs, so the ideal candidate will be both pet-friendly and child-friendly. As the role is in the countryside, a confident driver with a valid licence is essential, and a vehicle will be provided for occasional school runs and errands.
Working as a housekeeper in a private family environment requires attention to detail, flexibility, and the ability to maintain exceptionally high standards. Responsibilities will include the full upkeep of a large 7-bedroom family home, daily cleaning, laundry, and occasional support with school drop-offs and pick-ups for the children. No cooking duties are required. Candidates must demonstrate specialist skills in cleaning and caring for antique furniture, ensuring its preservation and presentation at all times. The role may be offered on a live-in or live-out basis; if live-in, the successful professional will enjoy a private apartment within the property, complete with separate entrance, kitchen, living room, and bedroom.
