Live- in Housekeeper

Our clients are searching for a live-in Housekeeper/Cook to help
take care of their beautiful residence in Gloucestershire. This
is a full time residence.

The estate is 30 acres, and there are other staff employed
including a part-time Housekeeper, Driver and Head Gardener. This
is a close knit, busy household, so you must be a team player.

The ideal candidate will work alongside a part-time Housekeeper
who will continue to support the family. The main part of the
role will be focusing on cooking for the family, however, on
quieter days you will be supporting the housekeeping team. The
family do entertain so hosting and serving skills would be an
advantage. You must be a confident cook and happy to cook daily
family meals (mostly when they have guests or their children and
their families visit). Strong understanding of meal planning,
being creative with cooking and thinking outside the box is
essential.

The house can be either very busy or quiet, so flexibility is
key.

They have dogs & cats so you must be comfortable around animals.

Duties will include:

* Family cooking and helping with preparation
* Menu planning
* Shopping
* Help with events
* Hands on cleaning, laundry and ironing to a high standard
* Packing and unpacking suitcases
* Front of house duties

Days of work: 5 days per week, including weekends when needed,
which are usually two weekends a month and then the days off will
be taken between Monday- Friday. Flexibility required.

Accommodation: Beautiful 2-bedroom Cottage just outside of the
estate, with garden and a garage. Well behaved pets may be
considered

Salary: £42,000+ gross per annum
