The family comprises two adult principals and their two young girls, aged 4 and 1, and they maintain a well-organised and structured home environment.

Located in a peaceful rural setting, the household offers a calm and pleasant working atmosphere suited to a hardworking, independent individual with strong initiative and an excellent eye for detail.

In addition to core housekeeping duties, the role may occasionally include very basic cooking for the children, and walking a friendly Staffordshire Terrier upon request.

The role requires a hands‑on and self‑sufficient approach, with responsibility for keeping the property running smoothly and in excellent order. The Housekeeper will also liaise with contractors when required and ensure the home remains well‑prepared for family life, balancing routine housekeeping with light, occasional additional support as needed.
