Perfect Household Staff is pleased to present a lovely opportunity for a professional and reliable part-time Housekeeper to join a friendly private household in Tonbridge, Kent. The family consists of two adults and lives in a spacious three-floor, five-bedroom property. The household is busy and family-oriented, with children regularly present during the week and at weekends, therefore the family are looking for a discreet, physically fit, and child-friendly housekeeper who is comfortable working in an active home environment. This role would suit someone practical, hands-on, and efficient, who enjoys keeping a home clean, tidy, and running smoothly without the pressure of exceptionally high or specialist cleaning standards.
Tonbridge is a charming and well-connected Kent town with excellent local amenities. This is a live-out position and is easily accessible by public transport, making it convenient for candidates commuting from surrounding areas.
