A lovely part time position has become available just outside Shepton Mallet for a part time Housekeeper.
This returning client is offering a varied role for an easy going and organised person. The last Nanny Housekeeper was with them for 5 years and was very happy there. They are now looking for someone who is self motivated and will just pitch in with whatever needs doing. This is mainly light cleaning and tidying, sweeping and vacuuming, laundry (mainly sorting and putting away clean washing) and changing beds, with a little childcare when needed mainly with the youngest (7 years old). Cooking a basic dinner for the kids will be required a couple of evenings a week, especially if mum is out, and if someone likes cooking and is happy to cook family meals occasionally that would be a bonus.
The family has a dog and you may be asked to exercise it on the premises. During summer and autumn there may be small jobs in the garden – ie watering plants and picking fruit and vegetables. There is the potential for more hours if you enjoy gardening as the family grow some of their own food, so if you are prepared to help out and do additional jobs in the greenhouse/veggie patch that would be great.
The position is 12-15 hours a week, ideally afternoons, ideally Monday, Wednesday and Friday. But they can be flexible around hours for the right person.
The children are 14, nearly 12 and 7 so some help with school runs and getting the kids to after-school activities may be required. When at home the eldest two are fairly self sufficient but the youngest still needs some care so you will need to have some child care experience.
This is a permanent position.
