PHS Job 3240
Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present a lovely opportunity for a flexible and friendly Housekeeper Cook to support a warm family with two young children aged one and three, based in Exeter, Devon. The family reside in a spacious five-bedroom property featuring a private spa and home office, set within a pleasant residential area of this historic cathedral city. Exeter offers a wonderful balance of countryside charm and city convenience, with excellent local amenities, green spaces, and a welcoming community atmosphere. The principals are seeking a child-friendly, approachable, and adaptable professional who will enjoy working in a family-focused environment and who is confident with vegetarian cooking.
Working as a Housekeeper Cook in a private household combines high standards of housekeeping with thoughtful, family-oriented meal preparation. This role will suit a candidate who enjoys maintaining a clean, organised home while preparing nutritious vegetarian meals tailored to the preferences of both adults and young children. The successful Housekeeper Cook will demonstrate flexibility, a positive attitude, and the ability to manage household tasks efficiently, while also being comfortable around children and contributing to a calm, well-run home.
This position can be offered on either a live-out or live-in basis. For candidates choosing the live-in option, the family provide a comfortable private bedroom within the house. The accommodation is welcoming and flexible, allowing the Housekeeper Cook to have guests, children, and pets, creating a relaxed and homely living arrangement.
For live-out candidates, the role is based in Exeter and is accessible locally, with amenities and transport links nearby. As the property is set within Devon, which has more rural elements, a driving licence and access to a personal vehicle can be beneficial for grocery shopping and errands. Free parking is available at the property, and in some circumstances, the principals may provide a car with automatic transmission, although driving is not a mandatory requirement.
