SalaryWe are seeking an exceptionally experienced Housekeeper for a large family house in Northumberland, approximately 20 miles outside Newcastle.
The candidate will be responsible for the tidying and cleaning of the entire house, including bedrooms and bathrooms on a regular basis as well managing the laundry. There are also several outbuildings that would also need to be kept clean and tidy.
This is an immaculate property, and the family would like it kept that way at all times. You must have exceptionally high housekeeping standards, an eye for detail, be proactive and have a practical and professional attitude. You must be a detailed ‘doer’, have experience caring for a large Private House and you must be able to keep everything orderly and well stocked at all times.
Laundry and Ironing are very important in the role and you need to have a good knowledge of caring for delicate and quality fabrics as well as fine furniture. Someone who can cook simple food well and has good knowledge of healthy nutrition would be welcomed with open arms, however this is not essential.
You must be hard working, take initiative, be logical, friendly and take pride in your work. As with all Private Household roles you must know where to draw the line with the principal and disappear into the background when necessary. There is one family dog so you must like animals.
The role is 40 hours a week, from Monday to Friday, though there may be the requirement for you to work the occasional weekend with advance notice.
A separate 2-bedroom cottage will be provided with all bills paid.
Salary dependent on experience.
