Overview
A family based in Maidenhead is looking for an excellent, experienced and highly organised Part-Time Housekeeper to take responsibility for the upkeep and organisation of their home.
This is a varied role for someone who genuinely enjoys housekeeping, takes pride in maintaining a home to a high standard and is equally comfortable with the organisational side of running a busy household. The family is looking for someone proactive and capable who can work independently, see what needs doing and take ownership of their responsibilities.
The family lives in a formal five-bedroom, three-bathroom home with antiques, glassware and silver requiring appropriate care. Alongside hands-on housekeeping, the role includes family laundry and ironing, organising cupboards and clothing, coordinating household contractors and taking care of local errands such as food shopping, returns and dry cleaning.
There are two young children, although no childcare is required. The household also has two dogs and three cats, so the Housekeeper should be comfortable around animals and happy to help with feeding them when required. There is also a python, which remains in its vivarium and requires no care.
