A family of four in North Somerset, with a child with disabilities, are looking for a special, organised and empathetic Housekeeper to become part of their team so they can spend quality time together as a family.
You will need to be a quick learner, with high standards of cleaning and organising, and good attention to detail – there is a process for cooking and blending the eldest son’s food (who is tube fed), and he is vulnerable so awareness of food (and general) hygiene is very important. You will need to be kind and sensitive with some awareness of disability. The family have a 7 year old boy and an active and outgoing 5 year old boy so someone with some childcare experience would be ideal.
Your duties will be all housekeeping duties, such as batch cooking and blending food for the older child, cleaning of the home, laundry, tidying and helping to organise the house so the family can function a bit better and be less stressed. They have carers coming in for the eldest child so you will need to be comfortable to work around this, making the home a busy environment at times. They also have a ‘buddy’ dog so being comfortable around dogs is essential.
They are looking for approximately 12 hours total, a week, split over 2 or 3 days, ideally Tuesday-Thursday, 9.30am-12.30pm but they can be flexible for the right person. They are searching for someone who is looking for a long term position who can grow with them as a family.
If you are an experienced Housekeeper who is organised, trustworthy, proactive and easy going who would like to find a family to become an integral part of then this could be the job for you!
