Live-In Housekeeper | Perfect Household Staff | Marsh Green, Kent

Intro

Are you looking for a peaceful, rural lifestyle while supporting a high-profile household? Perfect Household Staff is seeking a dedicated, live-in Housekeeper for a charming farmhouse set within the picturesque orchards of Marsh Green. The principals are a relaxed, welcoming couple who split their time between London and abroad. This is a rare opportunity for a caring professional to not only manage a beautiful country estate but also potentially travel with the family to France. If you value warmth, discretion, and have a genuine love for animals, this fulfilling role offers a wonderful work-life balance in a stunning setting.

Key Responsibilities

Estate Maintenance: Maintain the farmhouse to an impeccable standard, ensuring it is always “guest-ready” for the principals’ return.
Wardrobe & Laundry: Manage all laundry, high-level ironing, and the meticulous organization of wardrobes and linens.
Deep Cleaning: Execute thorough cleaning routines across all rooms, including high-standard bathroom and kitchen upkeep.
Pet Care: Provide care and companionship for the family’s small dog, including occasional walking and feeding.
Caretaking & Support: Assist with light cooking, run household errands (grocery shopping/dry cleaning), and oversee the property while the family travels.
Travel: Occasionally accompany the principals on trips to their European residences.

Requirements and Skills

Experience: Minimum of 3 years in a private household housekeeping role with 2 checkable references.
Driving: A valid driving licence is essential due to the rural location (a manual car is provided for work duties).
Communication: Conversational English is required to coordinate daily routines.
Pet Friendly: Must be genuinely comfortable living with and caring for a small dog.
Eligibility: Must have a valid UK work permit.

About the Role

This is a permanent, 30-hour-per-week position that offers a high level of autonomy. Because the principals travel frequently, they need someone proactive who can “see” what needs to be done without constant supervision.

The accommodation provided is a furnished 1-bedroom apartment located on the property, offering you privacy and comfort within a calm, rural environment. With a generous pay rate of £20 gross per hour, this role is designed for a long-term professional who wants to become a trusted, integral part of a household.

Salary: £20 gross per hour (~£600 gross per week)
Hours: 30 hours per week (5 days)
Accommodation: Provided (Furnished 1-bed apartment)
Location: Marsh Green, Kent Countryside
Start Date: ASAP
