Full Time Housekeeper For Private Estate

We are seeking an experienced live-in or live-out Housekeeper for a large family house on an 1,000-acre estate near Corbridge in Northumberland.

The candidate will be responsible for keeping the house clean and tidy, making sure the bedrooms and bathrooms are cleaned on a regular basis as well managing the laundry. There are also several outbuildings that would also need to be managed as well as kept clean.

The house is a beautiful period house which has been newly renovated so relatively easy to keep clean and tidy 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 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 could occasionally cook simple food well 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 over 5 days a week and flexibility is required for some weekend work.

The role can be live in - a separate 2-bedroom cottage will be provided with all bills paid - or it could be live-out.

Salary dependent on experience.
