A wonderful opportunity has arisen to join a private household in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside. The property is a well:appointed six bedroom residence set across two floors, with a separate annex provided for the housekeepers accommodation.
The Principal resides at the property for approximately six months of the year, during which time the role operates at full capacity. During the off season, the housekeeper continues to reside in the annex with lighter responsibilities.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced, discreet, and professional housekeeper who takes pride in maintaining impeccable standards. This is a split shift role, with morning duties followed by a break and then afternoon/evening responsibilities. The housekeeper will work closely with the Principal to ensure his daily routine runs seamlessly.
A Private Chef is employed within the household; however, basic cooking skills and the ability to assist with meal preparation when required would be beneficial. A private, self contained annex is provided on the property for the housekeepers sole use. The accommodation is available year round, including during the off season when duties are lighter. A vehicle is also provided for work related errands and shopping.
Only applicants with the right to work in the UK can be considered.
