The role is Monday to Friday, for 6 hours per day, with the working hours falling between 12/1pm and 6/7pm. During the school holidays, the family require full-time hours from 8am to 6pm.
The salary on offer is £23–£25 gross per hour DOE, (£42,320- £46,000 gross per annum annualised) .The family are away for much of August, so the nanny would be expected to take some of their annual holiday during this period.
This is a sole-charge position within a single-parent household, and the family are looking for someone who is fun-loving, warm and engaging, while also being confident in setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries. The ideal candidate will be energetic, flexible and happy to take a hands-on approach to both childcare and household duties. Responsibilities will include collecting the children from their school at St Paul’s Cathedral, which is easily accessible by bus, bringing them home and helping with their homework, activities and evening routines, as well as preparing nutritious meals for the children.
Before school pick up, the housekeeping duties will include washing and some ironing of the children’s clothes, keeping the family areas clean and tidy, cooking for the children and generally helping to maintain a well-run and organised household.
Driving is not essential, although there is a family car available for use on duty should the nanny wish to drive. The family also have two very friendly cats, so being comfortable around animals is important. There is no family travel involved with this position.
This is a lovely opportunity for an experienced and dynamic nanny who enjoys becoming an integral part of a warm family home.
