Job Description
A wonderful opportunity for an experienced live-in housekeeper to join a lovely family of three at their beautiful second home in Staffordshire close to the Shropshire border .
The family split their time between Staffordshire and London, typically spending Monday to Wednesday in Staffordshire, though this can vary, and they also spend time at the estate during school holidays.
This is primarily a sole housekeeper role, working alongside a cleaner who looks after the guest accommodation, with extra staff brought in for events. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in maintaining the home to an excellent standard. The property features art and antiques, so experience with delicate items, polishing silver, and caring for fine fabrics is essential.
You’ll manage the day-to-day running of the house, including liaising with contractors, arranging appointments, running errands, grocery shopping, and keeping supplies well stocked. The family enjoy cooking themselves, though occasional help with light meal prep may be required.
This role is ideal for someone organised, proactive, and who loves a varied role—and genuinely enjoys keeping a home beautifully maintained! It offers great autonomy, excellent working hours, and the chance to work for a kind and generous family.
The schedule is typically Monday to Friday, 08:30–17:00, with occasional flexibility required for guests or events.
Accommodation is provided in a lovely two-bedroom cottage close to the main house.
Salary: £45k GPA
